A frittata (or "torta" in the Philippines) is an easy way of turning leftover meat and/or vegetables into something special.
Ingredients
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ - ⅓ cup cooked ground beef (or whatever leftover meat you have)
  • 1 brussels sprout, sliced thinly (or use just green onions)
  • Splash or two of milk
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • A couple slices pepper jack cheese (or any cheese you prefer)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. In a 6½-inch cast iron skillet, heat the meat and brussels sprout over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes or until the veggies are tender. If your meat hasn't been previously seasoned, add a bit of salt and pepper. Cover with a lid if you like to allow the veggies to cook in a little steam.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and splash of milk in a bowl with a fork. Before adding the egg mixture to the skillet, add the olive oil if you think the mixture is too dry to prevent sticking. Turn on the broiler.
  3. Add the egg mixture and arrange the cheese slices on top and turn the heat down to medium. Cook only for a minute or two, just until the bottom sets. Slide the skillet under the broiler while the frittata is still jiggly on top. Broil for 2-3 minutes until the top is brown. Watch your frittata since the broil time will depend on your oven and the distance of the skillet to the fire. Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm.
