How to make a World Famous Frittata!

I'm sad to say that there wasn't enough interest in my Dinner Planning E-course to make it a go. However, this is good news for you all as I'm sharing one of my favorite recipes from it. This is infinitely adjustable and a family favorite at my house.

World Famous Frittata

Ingredients:
8 large eggs
1 large or 2 medium sized potatoes
2 cups of filling. This can be cooked meat, raw veggies, sundried tomatoes, chopped spinach or other greens, anything you like with eggs. Ham, spinach, and broccoli is one of our favorite mixes.
1/2 cup grated or crumbled cheese
1 cup milk or cream
1T flour
Salt and Pepper and any other dry seasoning you like. Approximately 2 teaspoons
2T butter

Optional:
Salsa, sour cream, avocado, green onion, or parsley to top your frittata after you finish preparing it.

Directions:
Place an oven safe skillet or Dutch oven into the oven and preheat to 350. Scrub your potatoes and slice them approximately 1/2" thick.  Crack your eggs into a bowl and beat lightly. Add the milk and flour and whisk until flour is combined. Add fillings, salt and pepper and any other dry seasonings to egg mixture. When the oven is preheated, take the pan out and melt 2T butter coating the bottom of the pan. Place the sliced potatoes around the bottom of the pan forming a 'crust'. Place the pan back into the oven for 10 minutes. Pull the pan out, add your egg mixture, and top with cheese. Bake the frittata for 30-40 minutes, until it's firm in the center. Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes. Slice, add any toppings you'd like and Enjoy!

Notes
This works beautifully with non-dairy milk and gluten free all-purpose flour.
Makes a great 'Meatless Monday' meal.
I use Costco's organic no-salt seasoning for my 'dry' seasoning
