What the Frittata?



I really need to go to the grocery store! I have what ever is left from last weeks Costco trip, a few random veggies that were going to be in the trash in about 2 day and some random  4th of July crap. 
I was craving something different for breakfast this morning and seems how all I could think of was either eggs and toast (boring!) or stealing of some of Sadie's Cheerios (even more boring!) I deiced to dig deeper into my almost empty fridge.
I remembered something I have been seeing a lot of lately on random food shows. FRITTATA"S!!! Before last week I have never seen or herd of such a thing. Then I came across 3-4 different shows showing how they made them. I didn't recall how they totally did them and everyone had there own spin so I just ran with it. I did a ingredient check in my head of what I could remember the TV host using.... eggs, salt, pepper,shallots, olive oil, zucchini and zucchini flowers. I had everything but the zucchini and zucchini flowers BUT I had some other random stuff in my fridge so here's what I used.

  • 4 whole eggs
  • 3 small corn tortillas
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 medium shallot
  • 1 med jalapeno with seeds
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1/2 a cup of chili con carne (with no beans)
  • 1/4 cup of feta cheese
  • 1/4 a cup diced green chili is canned
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • olive oil


Random I know. But it made sense to me at the time.

Directions:

Add olive oil in pan and chop onions, bell pepper, jalapeno and salt and pepper to taste then begin to saute. Right before they are tender I add my garlic clove so it wouldn't get to hot and burn.
In a bowl beat all 4 eggs with a dash of milk, salt and better to taste and your baking powder.
When veggies are done pour into egg bowl and not the eggs into hot pan (this way your veggies wont be pushed to the side and everything will be evenly distributed when added back into pan)
Make sure your now empty pan is well greased and arrange the corn tortillas on the bottom and follow by spreading the chili con carne on top followed by green chilies and let them heat up for a min or 2 on low to med heat.
Then add your egg and veggie mix and continue on the stove till the edges of egg start to cook.
 Transfer into a oven (first, make sure your pan can go into the oven) at 350 degrees. Cook for about 10-15 minutes till all eggs on top or cooked and are pulled away from pan. 
Let cool add some sour cream and enjoy!! 




Happy eating!
