It's week 2 in my series, "What I had for Dinner Last night Fritatta"!
Last night I had a FANTASTIC... Grilled Curry Chicken Thigh with a Maple Chipotle Glaze!

Well, making a Firtatta has become a way of life for me. Aside from the two blog posts mentioned above, I stopped even looking at a recipe *they are simple, eggs, a little cream, butter for the pan and whatever extra you want to use). The technique is important, so do take a look at the Fritatta 101 post to see what I am talking about. I stopped asking permission to change the recipe long ago. Mostly I make fritattas from whatever I had for dinner last night. Fish, beef, pork, vegetables, cheese, salami... Everything but soup.
So, here's my new series... Once a week for a year I am going to give you permission to try something yourself... The Whatever I had for dinner last night Fritatta!
It really was simple enough...
4 Eggs
1 TBS Heavy Cream
1 Cup Leftover chicken from a Grilled Curry Chicken Thigh
1 small Tomato, diced
2 Green Onions, diced, half in the omelette, half to use as garnish
- Dice up the chicken once it has been deboned, dice the tomato, slice the green onions.
- Preheat the oven to Broil setting
- In a Non Stick oven safe saute Pan, over medium high heat melt a TBS of Butter
- Whisk together 4 Eggs and a TBS of Heavy Cream (sure,milk will work)
- Add the chicken and 1/2 of the green onions and the tomato
- Add the eggs gently over the chicken and vegetables
- heat for 4 minutes on the stove top, until the eggs around the edge are set but the center is still jiggly wet.
- Move the pan to the oven and broil for 2 minutes. Check to see if the top is set and is just starting to brown.
- Repeat if needed
- Flip the fritatta onto a preheated plate. This may take practice, but by the time you do a couple of weeks' worth you will have it down perfect, place a plate upside down over the saute pan, hold the bottom of the plate (now n top) solidly with the palm of your hand and holding the handle of the pan, quickly and smoothly, FLIP
- Serve HOT and ENJOY! Serves two.
