I have recently discovered that Fritata is a great way to use up all that left overs that tend to sit in your refrigerator. I had my in-laws over for dinner a few nights ago and made some pork fillet for them. Although everyone enjoyed it thoroughly some of it ended up in the fridge. So yesterday morning we slept in and when we finally got up, I was in the mood for a lazy Sunday morning brunch. Without too much ado I whipped up this Fritata for us. The sweet corn bread was also made for the dinner and went well the second time around with the Fritata’s savouriness.
I sort off just went through the fridge to see what was available and just worked from there. The great thing about Fritata is that nothing is set in stone and anything you like goes (well…. that’s in my opinion)
This golden lovely will be on the table within 20 minutes and will provide enough for at least 6 portions.
