Breakfast in a Pan Frittata

"Not knowing what to fix for breakfast can be a real chore. This was the result of "I'm tired of the same old thing". Served this with homemade biscuits and sliced tomatoes. Makes two generous servings."

  1. My husband really liked it for Father's day breakfast, he ate both servings. I did add one more egg and I too did not attempt the flip because it looked too wet, so I put it under the broiler to "fix" the egg and then to melt the cheese. Also, I used regular onion and Simply Potatoes (pre-shredded). I added the mushroom and bacon later than onion, pepper, and potato.
     
  2. This is a great breakfast/brunch recipe that lends itself well to modification so that you can use whatever ingredients you have on hand. We used chicken chorizo, a whole bell pepper, skipped the shrooms, and used Mexican blend cheese.
     
  3. Loved this frittata! I did use cooked sausage for the bacon and monterey jack cheese. I cut it into quarters to flip and then put the cheese on the top and proceeded with the recipe. DH kept saying how good it was. Served with apple fritters for a wonderful breakfast.
     
  4. This was excellent! I did not try to flip the frittata but broiled the egg on top instead. It turned out perfectly and I will make again. Thanks Paula!
     
  5. This was certainly Breakfast in a Pan - very filling! I made this all the posted ingredients, except I substituted some diced ham for the Canadian bacon. Once I poured the Egg Beaters in, I put the pan in a 350 degree oven and baked for about 20 minutes (that is how I am used to cooking a frittata). Very tasty (and it reheats in the microwave pretty well too)! Made for ZWT7 by a Hot Pink Lady.

  1. My DH adored this. I made it as an easy dinner when I got home late one night. Simple to put together. I used a couple of handfulls of frozen hash brown potatoes and ham in place of the bacon. I even tried to flip it. No such luck. I was able to flatten most of the uncooked egg portion out to finish cooking. Tasted great!!!
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
