gluten_freeMaybe not a traditional breakfast food, but frittatas are good any time!
This is a way to use up a bag of pre-cut coleslaw that you're worried is going to go off soon if it's not used - or if your coleslaw's super-fresh, it's just an easy way to make a frittata with no chopping.
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 bag pre-cut coleslaw (ours have fine-sliced cabbage, carrot and green onions - and they're 450g or 16 oz per bag)
2 T olive oil (ideally garlic infused but use 1 chopped garlic clove or 0.5 tsp garlic powder if not)
salt and ground black pepper
1 T "reduced salt" soy sauce
0.5 cup hot water
3 eggs, beaten or whisked
1-2 handfuls grated cheese (e.g. a sharp cheddar)
Directions:
Heat up a large frypan and add 2 Tablespoons olive oil (I have one that's infused with garlic, so if not using that add some garlic powder to the veggies). Tip in all of a bag of pre-cut coleslaw, then hastily grab the plastic bag of salad dressing and remove it! Add a little salt, ground black pepper and the soy sauce, and a half cup of water, and stir. Cover it, lower the heat and leave it about 10-15 min to simmer down until the water's gone and it starts frying again. Then add the beaten eggs and move it all about so it's mixed in. Top with the grated cheese.
Cook it about 5 min, then put the pan under a grill to brown the cheese. Cool a little, and eat.
It's tasty, and contains actual vegetables!
I guess it'd be a bit expensive with egg prices in the US. They've increased here too and there's a shortage sometimes, but that's as the government recently brought in new laws here, banning battery (cage) hens. They've all got to be barn raised or free-range and some older businesses have decided to close, instead.

Date: 2023-01-27 06:05 pm (UTC)We eat frittatas for breakfast in my house! They're eggs after all, and good for using up whatever veg you've got lying around, though we've never used coleslaw mix. You've always got such good ideas for new ways to use leftovers. Just please remember that "healthy" is different for everyone, and what's healthy for you may not be so for others. Instead, you can describe the dish's inherent qualities, like "Full of protein and veggies."
