Ways with eggs

My kids love eggs and the following recipe is a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables that you have in the fridge.

Wen's frittata.

6 eggs

A dash of milk

Whatever leftover vegetables are available cut into small cubes. (Leftover roast meat is good too)

1 onion sliced ( use the food processor to save time but watch out when you take the lid off as all those chemicals that make you cry are right under that lid)

Parmesan cheese.

In a preferably non stick straight sided fry pan, fry the onions and leftovers.

Whisk the eggs with the milk until slightly frothy.

Pour over the vegetables and push the mixture around with a spatula for a minute or so making sure you lift the cooked bits on the bottom of the pan.

Leave to cook until almost set (the top should still be very wet)

Cover the top with parmesan and put the whole frypan under the griller to brown the top and finish setting the eggs.

Cut into wedges and serve with some chutney or let cool then cut into wedges for a cold meal.

This is great in school lunchboxes.

Decadent Fritatta

This is a variation I came up with to use up some fresh salmon that I had in the fridge.

Replace the leftovers with small cut salmon, some capers and dill. The smaller you cut the salmon the more cooked through it will be.

Don't cover with cheese however you still need to finish it off in the griller if you want an evenly cooked frittata.
