Frittata

    Sometimes a cooking life leaves you with leftovers, and instead of just leaving them to rot, compost or trash, you could make a frittata. At least that's what I do. 

The first step is to take your left over veggies, in this case I had onion, spinach, roasted red pepper, and kalamata olives, and saute them in about a tablespoon butter. I usually saute the onions first and brown them with salt and then add the rest. I also will add fresh herbs as well.
 After that I add some sort of beaten egg mixture. This time I used 3 eggs and ricotta cheese. I have also added half and half to the mixture as well as other cheese, whatever is left over.

 After pouring the egg mixture on the evenly spread sautéed veggies I let it sit for about four minutes or until the edges of the frittata start separating from the edge of the pan. I then put it in the oven at 350° for about 7 minutes. The center part should be firm at this point. Sometimes I will also brown it with the broiler for a minute to get the top brown and crispy.
I usually make this for brunch, perfect for last nights leftovers.
