Frittata for World Cup Game Day for Auntie Andrea

Serves 6 people

12 eggs

1 cup milk

1 1/4 cups shredded cheese - save 1/4 cup  for a garnish before placing in the oven

tomatoes (any kind) 1 cup diced (I used cherry tomatoes that were left over from last nights charcuterie tray)

Left overs from the fridge included: 

sliced ham & salami 6 slices - sliced thin

bell pepper - 3/4 cup diced

artichoke hearts (from the jar) - 1/2 cup

green onion diced - 4 - save a little for a garnish before going into oven

baguette - dried and left over from last night - 12 slices

salt & pepper to taste

1 tsp. hot sauce (optional) 

Process:

grease the 8 X13 baking dish

Line the bottom of the dish with leftover bread or baguette (thin sliced bread)

In a large bowl add eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt & pepper. Whisk together and set aside.

Sprinkle evenly onto the bread in the baking dish the diced green onion, meat, artichokes, peppers, cheese.

Pour the egg mixture on top of the bottom layers, gently so as not to disturb the placement of all of the ingredients.

Sprinkle the top with shredded cheese and green onion.

Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350°F (180°C). You will know it is properly baked when the eggs have risen and are puffy and the center is firm and not runny.

Allow to sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy.

Miriam's Time Saving Tip♥ This recipe is a crowd pleaser and can be prepared the night before and held in the fridge overnight. Cover with plastic wrap first. 

Remove from the fridge 1/2 an hour before baking time and bake as per above instructions.
