Use up leftover cooked greens (which, in my experience, don't reheat so nicely) in this delicious frittata! You can use spinach, Swiss chard, kale, etc.

Provided by ajhorse21

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs     Frittata Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 large eggs
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped red onion
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup cooked Swiss chard (thawed if frozen)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Beat the eggs and egg whites in a mixing bowl until smooth. Whisk in the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until evenly blended; set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook and stir until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook an additional minute. Add the cooked Swiss chard; cook and stir until the Swiss chard is hot. Pour in the egg mixture, cover, and cook until the edges of the egg have set, about 5 minutes.
  • Uncover the frittata, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Broil in the preheated oven until the cheese is golden brown and the center of the frittata has set, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let stand 3 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pan: Use an oven-safe skillet that is large enough to fit all of the ingredients comfortably. A 10-inch skillet is a good size for a 6-egg frittata.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or thyme add a burst of flavor to your frittata. Chop them finely and sprinkle them over the top before baking.
  • Don't Overcook: The frittata is done when the center is just set. Overcooking will make it dry and rubbery.
  • Let It Cool Slightly: Before slicing and serving, let the frittata cool for a few minutes. This will help it hold its shape better.

Conclusion:

A frittata with leftover turkey is a delicious and easy way to use up your holiday leftovers. It's also a great way to get a healthy and filling breakfast, lunch, or dinner on the table in no time. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of planning, you can create a frittata that is sure to please everyone at your table.
