BROCCOLI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Place rack in the center of your oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
• If your chicken is not yet cooked: Cook and shred chicken.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli and peppers and sauté until they are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook 1 additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, then add cheese, chicken, and the vegetables from the skillet. Stir to combine, then pour into the prepared pie dish.
• Bake 40 minutes, until the center is nearly set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove and let sit 5 minutes then serve warm or at room temperature. The frittata will puff while baking, then settle a bit as it cools.

LEFTOVER ROAST CHICKEN FRITTATA

Steps:

• Slice the onion and peppers in to thin strips. Add the olive oil to a deep (25cm / 10") non stick pan and gently fry the peppers and onion until soft and starting to turn golden. Turn out onto a plate to cool. This can be done ahead of time, and then kept in the fridge in a covered container for a day.
• Meanwhile whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
• Add the chicken, potatoes, and peppers to the egg. Stir together, and pour the mixture into the frying pan. Use a spatula to gently push the ingredients down so they are covered in the egg,
• Cook over a low heat for about 10 minutes until the bottom of the frittata is golden brown (lift and check with a spatula), and set. The top should still be liquid. As it cooks on the hob, heat up your grill.
• Cook the top half of the frittata under the grill for a further few minutes until puffed up and golden brown. The frittata should be cooked all the way through: you don't want any of the egg to still be liquid. Check the middle with a knife.
• Turn the frittata out onto a serving plate, and enjoy! Serve with a crunchy green salad.

HOW-TO MAKE THE PERFECT LEFTOVERS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Adjust your rack to the middle of the oven.
• In a large bowl, beat together eggs and milk (if using). Don't over beat. Stir in any cooked (but not hot) ingredients that you want to add-in, veggies, meat, herbs, seasonings, etc. Mix in cheese if using and season well with sea salt and black pepper. Stir in to combine.
• To a well-seasoned cast iron skillet, over medium-high heat add your butter (or other fat) and melt. Evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Pour the eggs into the pan, shaking the pan to evenly distribute the mixture. Add any remaining ingredients on top.
• Cook the frittata, without stirring, until its edges begin to set, about 3-5 minutes. As it cooks, I recommend using a rubber spatula to very gently lift up the set portions of your frittata around the edge and let any egg mixture that is not set to run into the space you've created.
• Place the frittata in the preheated oven and cook 8-10 minutes until barely set. (check after 5, to avoid overcooking). Time to cook can vary on the size (and type) of the pan, amount of eggs, how thick it is, etc. So just watch it.
• To check, cut a small slit in the center of the frittata. If raw egg runs into the cut you made, bake for another few minutes. Once set remove from the oven, remember it will continue to cook in the hot pan. (if you are looking for a brown top or want to add cheese and melt, give it a minute under the broiler, but be REALLY careful to not overcook and dry out your frittata)
• Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter or serve right from the pan. Cut into wedges. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature, or cold.
