Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup leftover roast turkey, chopped
  • 1/2 cup swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 1 orange bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can stewed tomatoes
  • 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed chili peppers
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced orange bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Stir in the chopped turkey to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, just to warm the turkey through.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the turkey and bell peppers, and let it cook without stirring for 1 minute to set the bottom.

Sprinkle the shredded swiss cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

While the frittata is baking, prepare the spiced tomato sauce. In a pot, combine stewed tomatoes, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, chili powder, and crushed chili peppers.

Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for 10 minutes until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.

Stir in the chopped fresh parsley into the tomato sauce and remove from heat.

Once the frittata is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.

Serve the frittata with the spiced tomato sauce spooned over the top or on the side, as preferred.

How did this come out of my fridge??

February 19, 2024

This is the first time I've ever made a frittata, but not the last! I've always kept my distance from frittatas because I thought they were the same as omelettes "with stuff" in them, which for some reason I don't really like. This was different! Like a fluffy, savoury breakfast cake in a zingy tomato sauce. It is reminiscent of some of the best shakshuka dishes I've had. Baking time was right on point: the cheese was turning golden and the eggs were set without being dry. I feel like this is a recipe that would be hard to screw up, and I'm looking forward to trying it again and switching it up with other types of leftovers. The only thing I might change is to grate additional cheese over the frittata and sauce after plating, but I have a bit of a cheese problem.
