Fritattas are my favorite dumping grounds for leftovers. I have used everything from potatoes to rice to tortillas for the base, but up until now, I’ve never used stuffing. But I had a bunch left from Thanksgiving and, while I’d happily just eat a bowl of it, I forgot to snag any gravy from mom so this time I decided to do something different with it. I also added some of the leftover roasted veggies. Now you could also add a little turkey if you want…but I saved mine for sandwiches.
Thanksgiving Leftover Fritatta
Thanksgiving Leftover Fritatta
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup mixed veggies (I used leftover roasted carrots and green beans)
1 cup Thanksgiving stuffing
4 strips bacon
5 eggs
1/4 cup shredded cheese
Heat a 10″ skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Discard the grease in the pan.
One of the most useful things I’ve learned from Pinterest. Put a piece of foil in a bowl, pour your grease into it. When it cools and solidifies, simply lift it out and throw it away. Genius!
If needed, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the onion for 1-2 minutes. Then add the roasted veggies. Stir and cook until onion is tender.
Leftover veggies.
Add stuffing and cook until heated through. Chop bacon and add to stuffing mixture.
Stuffing and bacon into the mix.
In a bowl, beat eggs with a pinch of salt & pepper. Pour eggs over everything and swirl around to coat. Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover everything. Sprinkle with cheese.
Almost there!
Turn heat down to medium low, and cover. Cook 10-15 minutes, or until top is set. Cut into wedges and serve.
