You will need a skillet that is NOT non-stick, and can go from stove top to oven (cast iron or stainless steel would be best).
Melt a couple tablespoons of butter in the pan on medium heat and then saute your toppings (onion, garlic, carrots, broccoli, squash, spinach, etcetera - i.e. anything you might like or that is leftover in your produce drawer).
Meanwhile whisk 6 eggs together in a bowl and add a good amount of some grated cheese.
Take your sauted mix of veggies and add them into the bowl of eggs and cheese. Melt a little more butter in the pan and then pour the whole egg-cheese-veggie mixture back into the pan
and cook for 5 minutes. Add another good amount of cheese over the top of the mixture and move the pan into the oven set on broil for 5 minutes.
Remove, slice into wedges, serve (perhaps with a little dollop of cultured creme, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and some cilantro) and enjoy!
Yum! And I am just switching to cast iron cookware so this sounds like a good way to break in my new skillet!
ReplyDeleteYea! Let me know how you like it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try...I ONLY ever use a cast iron skillet..my kind of recipe!
ReplyDeleteyummm...I will be trying this forthwith.
ReplyDeleteOh, this sounds good. Great idea to use things in that produce drawer before they go rummy.
ReplyDeleteHappy to share! yes, Deanna, you and I know the necessity of recipes that help clean out our refrigerators don't we? =)
ReplyDeleteMade this last night for dinner...it was a great hit and so easy I almost felt guilty for how little effort I put in and how many accolades I got.
ReplyDeletelove it, sounds like another great way to "use up veggies" and make a delicious fast meal!
ReplyDeletemy only problem is that i only have one cast iron and i use it for meat cooking and i don't like to mix...i guess i'll have to get a second one!
Summer - Isn't it great how much praise you can receive for such little effort!
ReplyDeleteMeg - Sorry to make you buy another pan! I still don't have a cast iron pan, but I have good stainless steel ones. I think I *need* a new pan, too. Perhaps they'll give us a discount if we buy them together!? =)
So I got here from your recent meal planning monday post via a hotlink. And the post title made me want to start a cooking show called, "In the kitchen with M & M" You see we could take turns hosting and offer special guest appearances by other M's or other friends...I'm thinking I'm on to something here...wait, better idea. That's the title of our new blog! As if I post "too much" on my original blog! Ha!
ReplyDeleteMeg - Seriously, we could do television! =) We'll have to plot a little more on this.
