Isn't it funny how the thrown together, leftover meals sometimes turn into the best ones? A baked frittata is one of the best ways to use up whatever ingredients you've got.

serves/makes:

ready in:
30-60 minutes

ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, minced
3 cups leftover vegetables
1 cup diced or crushed tomatoes with juice
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup cheese, shredded

directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9" x 13" baking dish with vegetable oil spray. Set aside.

Add oil to heavy skillet over medium heat, then add onion and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add vegetables, tomatoes, herbs, salt and pepper. Saute 3-4 minutes.

Spread vegetable mixture in bottom of oiled baking dish and pour eggs on top. Sprinkle cheese on top.

Bake for 22-24 minutes until golden brown.

Christine's Notes: No matter what veggies are languishing in your refrigerator, here's a tasty way to stretch eggs into dinner. Try substituting 2-3 Tbs. salsa for the tomatoes for a spicy Mexican twist. Add fried potatoes or hash browns and, sure enough, leftovers have saved the day again.
