So many times, we come home from a hectic day and think we do not have a single thing in the cupboard/refrigerator for dinner. Actually, for a simple, quick dinner, you'd be surprised to find out that you do have the means for fixing a good meal and your family just might eat it, too.
Any Way You Want It Frittata
8 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour*
1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables, defrosted
1/2 cup cooked, diced meat - your choice!
1 cup cooked rice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/4 cup finely diced onion
2 cloves peeled garlic, crushed and diced
1/2 cup shredded cheddar
1 tablespoon cooked and crumbled bacon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large frying pan with a lid, sauté the onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil until tender. Set aside for the moment.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and flour. Mix in the defrosted vegetables, meat, rice spices, onion, garlic, bacon and cheese.
Heat the frying pan until hot but not smoking. Pour in the egg mixture and turn down to low. Cover with the lid and cook on low for about 20 to 25 minutes or until set and cooked through. It is low and slow on this to prevent burning.
Remove from oven and let set for a few minutes and then either remove from pan or just cut wedges straight from the pan to serve. Goes well with a green salad with a light dressing.
*Substitute the all-purpose flour for gluten-free flour if you are on a wheat-free diet.
