“Leftovers” Hearty Breakfast Frittata

Have you made breakfast frittatas so far? At the end of the week you may have some leftover food and veggies that you may be contemplating either giving away or throwing away. Before you toss out your hard-earned money, make a hearty frittata.

These frittata recipes are also perfect when you don’t have time to prepare breakfasts before work or school. So, when you have leftover cooked chicken breast and roasted potatoes, don’t throw them away, make an easy breakfast for tomorrow morning.

Take a cast iron skillet, spray with coconut oil and toss in chicken breasts, potatoes, chopped spinach and chopped red bell peppers, or whatever vegetables you have at home.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with some oregano, minced garlic, pepper and sea salt and pour over the meat and veggies. Sprinkle with reduced fat mozzarella cheese, and bake for 25 minutes in a previously preheated oven at 400F.

When done, remove the frittata from the oven and cool it a bit. Garnish with herbs and pack with some fresh salad or tomatoes for tomorrow’s takeaway breakfast.

You can be very creative with breakfast frittata recipes. You can mix your leftover meat with any addition you like such as spinach and feta cheese, or broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini, onions. But be careful, raw vegetables release a lot of water and will not be fully cooked until the eggs are ready.

Also, any kind of cheese will go great, but make sure to use reduced fat cheese if you want a perfectly healthy meal.
