Leftover Frittata, a Great Fridge-Cleaning Idea

Today I’m sharing a recipe that isn’t really a recipe, because you choose the ingredients based on the leftovers you have at home. It could be pasta, rice, meat, or vegetables. Leftover frittata goes with everything. For example, I had leftover saffron risotto and sautéed zucchini. Delicious, an easy, quick, and really tasty second course. So open the fridge and see what comes out.

  • Difficulty: Very easy
  • Cost: Very cheap
  • Preparation time: 2 Minutes
  • Portions: 4People
  • Cooking methods: Stove
  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: All seasons

Ingredients

  • as needed leftovers (in my case, saffron risotto and sautéed zucchini)
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons grated cheese

Tools

  • Pan
  • Bowl

Steps

  • In a bowl, beat the eggs well with the grated cheese.

  • Add the leftovers (in my case, saffron risotto and sautéed zucchini) and mix.

  • At this point, you can decide whether to add herbs and spices based on your leftovers. I left it as is because my leftovers were quite flavorful.

  • I heated a drizzle of oil in a pan and cooked for about 6/7 minutes per side on high heat.

  • Let it rest for a few minutes.

  • I cut it into wedges and served it. It’s also great cold.
