Adaptable No Flip Frittata

Leave a comment May 10, 2012 FrugalHausfrau

How about you guys? Are you rocking breakfast for dinner? Think about Frittatas. They’re easier than an omelette, faster (and less calorie ridden) than a quiche, and made in one pan. Add a little fruit or a Small Salad on the side, and you’ve got yourself breakfast, dinner, or lunch. I started this recipe initially as an asparagus frittata recipe (2012), but over the years, I’ve remade it so many different ways! It’s now Adaptable No Flip Frittata, my go-to Frittata recipe, easy and no flipping needed!

This one is asparagus with cheddar cheese.

Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwiches

I truly do think the leftovers are the best part of any Holiday dinner, and here’s one of my favorite ways to use them. While traditionally made with turkey, Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwiches are great made with either turkey or ham and bacon. More often, I’m seeing them with all three.

Creamy, delicious and comforting, Risotto is undisputedly one of the classic rice dishes of the world. When I heard of Cook’s Illustrated came out with an “easy, partially hands off” method for Asparagus Risotto, I wondered if their scientific approach would improve my risotto.

Hot, humid July or any summer day just about screams for a no-cook meal. Even better if it’s a meal that’s served chilled! What could be better than the Best Egg Salad Sandwich paired with Marinated Asparagus?

Salmon Hash with Hollandaise

I can be possessed by food jealousy; it happens to those on a budget. They hear about a friend’s restaurant dinner, see a gorgeous meal in a magazine, or maybe they watch Tyler Florence. Darn you, Tyler! Darn you and your belly of fresh Atlantic salmon that would be so perfect for Mother’s Day! My solution: a budget-friendly Salmon Hash with Hollandaise.
