Baked Frittata?

The (left over) 'taters and some veggies, plus all the extra egg whites I accumulate each week, allow for some good, inexpensive meals, perfect for snacks, quick and easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Now if I can only find my egg beater <LOL> although whipping up the eggs in the blender works nicely as well.

Thanks!

'smatter -- you ain't got no fork to mix the eggs? Actually, I wouldn't use the blender -- whipping too much air into the eggs. But I like my eggs solid. YMMV.

FYI: a frittata with just potatoes and onions is a Spanish tortilla. And a wonderful dish it is, too. When I make it (or any frittata, for that matter), I usually flip it, rather than finish it in the oven or under the broiler. But all methods work. That's the glory of eggs, imo.

Hey, I got a fork, but it was in the dishwasher Maybe I should get a frittata fork as well ...

Mostly I'll beat the eggs with a fork, but for this frittata thing I wanted somewhat fluffier results. In any case, I can see making a frittata about once a week or every ten days as the egg whites accumulate. Flipping, broiling, baking - all those techniques will work just fine. The flipping method is nice and quick and easy, and works great for me as well.

I use the MattFin method, but I buzz the egg mixture with an immersion blender so the eggs have some valium.

So sort of like a Hash Brownie?

MattFin is right. Start it just like you would an omelet and then throw it down in the oven at 350 until it is almost cooked through and then pull it out to finish on it's own. I actually like the flipping and serving upside down technique myself. Super easy dish. Don't overthink it. Toppings are limitless.
