I have the best new friend, her name is Ang and she is the busy, fabulous woman behind Juggling Act Mama! We’ve became fast friends and each day check in to hold each other accountable. There’s lots to do in this blogging world and it’s good to know someone that actually “gets me”!! 👩‍🍳📸 ✍️

The inspiration for this recipe actually came from her blog after I made her  Chorizo Sheet Pan Dinner recipe! Chorizo, peppers, onions and potatoes all slapped onto a pan and baked off in the oven. Sheet pan dinners are a thing, let me tell you!

And for a good reason – it’s simple way to put dinner on the table, easy, flavorful and delicious!

Anyway, I made that dinner twice and the second time I had some leftovers. So rather than have the same meal three days in a row… I thought I’d mix it up a bit! Plus I only had about two cups of leftovers. Not enough for a full meal for both of us,

Serve up a big wedge of frittata with a side of fruit saladIf you’ve been following the blog for long you know remaking leftovers is actually something I specialize in. So that night for dinner, I transformed leftovers from the sheet pan dinner into an easy frittata and let me tell you this is delicious!

Any leftover veggies will do, even these pan roasted vegetables as a substitute! If you’re looking for a great side dish to serve alongside my simple fresh recipe for Fruit Salad is a great choice!

Ok, let me give you the skinny on frittatas –

How do you make a frittata in the oven?

• preheat the oven
• thoroughly butter the inside of a sauté pan including the sides
• spread the leftover roasted vegetables evenly on the bottom of the sauté pan
• whisk the eggs
• add the sour cream and seasonings, whisk again
• add the cheese, mix again – pour over the vegetables
• place in the preheated oven and bake until the frittata is puffed and golden brown
• slice, add toppings of choice, serve and enjoy!

Perfect use of leftovers this easy frittata recipe is one the whole family will enjoy!

What is the difference between an omelet, a quiche and a frittata?

• Great question! An omelet is cooked on the stove and the ingredients are folded into the inside of the omelet. Most frittatas are started on the stove and finished in the oven.
• A quiche will have a crust and the ingredients will be folded into the custard and poured into the pie shell.

Most often I make a frittata because I’m lazy and it’s one less step! Remember when I said earlier my meals are quick and easy? What can I say – that works for me! 😀
