Frittatas are great for supper too!
I just made the best frittata and wanted to share it with you.
Frittatas are similar to omelettes but usually the cooking is finished in the oven.  A definition online says a frittata is “an unfolded omelet often containing chopped vegetables or meats.”
I had some leftovers and was not sure what to fix for supper so I decided to use the leftovers in a frittata. Â I had some roasted fingerling potatoes and asparagus and a small bit of salmon fillet.
I started by dicing the potatoes and melting the butter in an oven proof skillet. Â I cut the asparagus spears into bite size pieces. Â I added the potatoes to the skillet and let them brown before adding the asparagus and then crumbling the salmon into the mixture.
I beat a dozen eggs and added about 2/3 cup milk with salt and pepper and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, and then added this mixture to the potatoes mixture. Â Then I popped the skillet in to the oven on 425 degrees for about 12-15 minutes.
It was just delicious, and I highly recommend you experiment with other vegetables and meats to make a tasty frittata for your next brunch or supper.
