Leftover Pizza Frittata (Using Leftover Pizza!)

- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
1 frittata
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 2 slices prepared pizza, chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 1⁄2 cups fresh Baby Spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 3⁄4 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 1⁄2 teaspoon italian seasoning
- black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
directions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Dump your chopped leftover pizza cubes into a large mixing bowl.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan and then add the spinach and garlic. Toss in the oil over medium-low heat until the spinach has wilted and garlic is lightly cooked. Pour the spinach mixture over the pizza bits and mix well. [If you're using different extras, just skip the spinach prep and add your fixings, chopped into small pieces, to the pizza bits and toss well.].
- Beat the six eggs in a separate bowl, then add the the sharp cheddar, Italian seasoning, and pepper (if you need salt, add that now too) and mix.
- Pour the egg mixture over the pizza and mix to combine. Allow this to sit for a few minutes to absorb egg and flavor.
- Finally, pour the fritatta mixture into a greased 8 inch square or circular pan (I use my 8 inch glass pie dish) and sprinkle the top with the Parmesan cheese. Place this in the oven and allow to cook for 20-25 minutes, or until golden on top and cooked through. Be careful with time as not all pizzas are created equal! A moister pizza won't absorb as much egg, so it may take longer; alternatively, a dryer pizza will probably cook faster.

This recipi did a great job disguising the crappy pizza we had last night. It didn't taste like pizza at all in fact. I doubled the recipi, used frozen spinach (thawed and drained), and didn't add any cheese, The consistency before baking was like a thick stew. The only problem I had is that I didn't beat the eggs well at all, and therefore the frittata was very dense, but the flavor was good. I would definitely recommend adding sauteed onion. I personally will be adding mushrooms, tomato, and possibly bell pepper as well. Great job and thanks for posting.

This combination was surprisingly amazing! Thanks so much for the recipe! A few tweaks I did (just because it’s what I had on hand) was chopped provolone instead of cheddar, sprinkled ricotta instead of parmesan, And I added a little spaghetti sauce on top afterwards. We do pizza night every Friday, looks like Saturday’s might become pizza egg morning =)!
