Frittata



Leftovers? What to do with them? My kids don't always like having leftovers, but I can't throw them away. So I try to use them in more creative ways.  Like in a frittata!! 
You can use almost anything, but this time I used leftover roasted broccoli and leftover roasted potatoes.  Both of them already has salt and pepper on them so I didn't add any extra. And the broccoli had some garlic so that added some extra flavor.  
Most leftover veggies and potatoes will work and you could add some meat too. 


2 TBSP olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped (optional)
1 cup leftover veggie
1 cup leftover potatoes
8 large eggs
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup grated Locatelli cheese

In a league ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.  Add the leftovers and sauté until heated, about 5-8 minutes.  
Preheat the broiler. In a bowl, whisk the eggs,cream,and cheese.  Stir into the skillet. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until almost set, and not runny. About 2 minutes. Place skillet under the broiler until top is golden.  Watch carefully as it only takes a few minutes.  
Cut into wedges and serve. 

This works well for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It can be paired with fruit  and a salad for a great meal.
