Frittata

This is a good family meal - even for the teeny tiny ones. You can pretty much add anything you want since the main ingredient is the eggs. All the meat, veggies, cheese, and pasta are optional depending on your taste. You can even do a sausage, bacon, ham one if you want to keep it more as a breakfast item. Thanks MrsAmers and Heather for the recipe!

EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
Garlic
Potatoes - cubed
variety of veggies (broccoli, cauliflower,etc)
salt
pepper
basil
8 eggs - beaten
Pasta - cooked (any variety)
shredded cheese (any variety)
Meat (cubed ham, sausage, etc.)

Sautee garlic in EVOO, add cubed potatoes, once the potatoes are browing add veggies and some more EVOO, salt, pepper and basil. A few minutes later add the cooked pasta and the eggs. Stir to make sure the egg is well distributed to hold it together. Sprinkle the top with shredded cheese, reduced the heat to medium-low and cover the dish. Cook 10-15 minutes until egg is done.
You can try a variety of vegetables, pastas, cheeses and spices or just use up leftovers in the refrigerator.
