Veggie Frittata: Quick & Delicious One-Pan Breakfast

Posted on by M.
veggie frittata

This veggie frittata is the perfect breakfast to use up random odds and ends in the fridge.

That shriveling tomato…the dying peppers…that half of an onion from last week..and the salad greens that are looking suspiciously like they want to go mushy.

Chop up whatever treasures you can find and toss them in a skillet over medium heat.

For an 8″ skillet, I used 8 eggs.

I was feeding a grown man, myself and my baby, Hulk Jr.

Whisk up the eggs, pour over sautéed hodge podge.

Cover with lid and turn heat down to low.

Cut into quarters and flip when mostly cooked through.

Slice or grate cheese on top and allow to melt.

Garnish with fresh green onion and enjoy!

Fancy Breakfast Sandwiches

Cook in iron skillet over medium high heat:

4 Strips Bacon (cut smaller as shown, if you like)

OR

4 Sausage Patties

(Alternately, batch bake up a sheet or two here.)

This is where it gets fancy. Watch out!

You can use any sort of egg ring, metal cookie cutter or something round, about the same size as whatever bread you are using and heat resistant.

Oh yeah, choose your bread.

In pan, heat on medium:

1 T. Bacon Grease / Butter / Olive Oil

Swirl the ring in the pan to make sure the insides and bottom surfaces are greased lightly.

Break into ring:

1 Egg

This is the part where I realized that unless you have 4 or more of these rings, this is really a recipe for a single sandwich. So, here’s another option for ya if you have more than 1 person to feed.

fried eggs on pan

Fit as many eggs as you can in the pan.

Break the yolks to ensure even cooking and to speed up the process.

You can also just scramble the eggs before hand because you are going to cut them into pieces in a minute.

Cover pan and cook on medium low.

Steam is your friend. It speeds up the cooking and gives a much better texture. Also even if your pan was too hot for some reason, the steam will help cook everything before things get crispy.

As soon as eggs in rings can hold their shape, remove the ring.

If not using rings, use a spatula to cut eggs into portion sizes.

Melt in pan:

1 T. Butter

Place bread, english muffins or biscuits face down in butter to toast.

Flip.

If desired, melt on egg:

1 Slice Cheese

Add meat of choice.

Or don’t. It’s a free country.

So far, at least. Kind of.

Voila!

I know, they sounded fancier than they look.

They TASTE fancy, though. Or at least better than drive-thru version.

At the very least, you can pretend you had fast food without wondering what is in your sandwich.
