Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped leftover french fries (you could also use roasted potatoes, hash browns, tater tots, etc.)
1/2 cup chopped deli ham
1/2 cup thawed frozen peas
1/4 cup ricotta
2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Whisk in the milk, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the french fries, ham and peas. Saute about 2 minutes. Pour in the egg mixture. Drop the ricotta by the teaspoonful around the pan. Do the same with the pesto.
Transfer the skillet to the oven. Let cook until the eggs are set, 13 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
Beat the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined. Distribute the leftovers evenly in the pan and pour in the eggs. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
A frittata is the Italian version of an omelet, but instead of the ingredients being folded into the middle they are mixed right into the eggs, so it's actually easier to make. Frittatas are usually started on the stove and finished in the oven, but you have to have pans with metal handles. Since I don't, I learned to adapt. This version is the same principle as a frittata, but you don't have to worry about melting the handles on your pans.
