Leftover Stuffing Frittata

Submitted by DeniseBC

"I got this recipe online from another source when looking for a way to use up an abundance of Christmas stuffing. Since the stuffing I make has sausage in it, I tweaked the original recipe somewhat, removing the additional turkey it called for and using sharp cheddar cheese. This was really tasty for dinner and I'm sure it will be great for breakfast as well. The eggs were really light and fluffy."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 -3 cups leftover prepared stuffing
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 large eggs
• 3⁄4 cup milk
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400. Coat an ovenproof skillet with cooking spray. Pat leftover stuffing into a crust on the bottom of the skillet and place over medium heat on stovetop to warm through. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over top of stuffing.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, parsley, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg. Add salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind how much seasoning was used in your stuffing.
3. Pour egg mixture over stuffing and cheese, covering evenly. Sprinkle Parmesan over top.
4. Carefully transfer to preheated oven and bake until the eggs are set, the cheese is golden, and the sides have puffed up slightly, about 15-20 minutes.
5. Cool slightly before cutting.
6. If desired, sprinkle with additional fresh parsley.

I heated 3 cups of sausage stuffing in my 12 inch cast iron skillet, adding a few handfuls of raw greens and some cooked carrots. Then I pretty much followed the recipe, except that I skipped the cheddar and used my own spice blend. Fantastic!
