Toddler Friendly Frittata Recipe

Frittatas are a dish that I always seem to forget about, but every time I make one, I wonder why it doesn’t happen more often. Essentially an oven-baked omelet, a frittata is a fabulous way to make leftovers delicious. Here is our frittata recipe:

FRITTATA

• 6 eggs
• herbs, 1 tsp chopped, we used thyme
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• Vegetables – we used cooked potatoes and red peppers
• 1/3 cup grated or crumbled cheese (we used feta cheese in larger crumbles and then topped with an aged cheese)

1. Preheat oven to 175/350 degrees.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, herbs, salt, pepper and 1 Tbsp water.
3. In a large oven-proof frying pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent. Add vegetables and sauté for a couple of minutes until warm through. Shake pan to spread the veggies evenly around the pan. Remove pan from heat, pour over egg mixtures, and sprinkle cheese on top.
4. Bake until center is set and poked and edges are browned and pulling away from pan sides, around 10-15 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Cut into wedges or squares.
