My Go-To St Patricks Day Breakfast

I start by preheating the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, I whisk together the eggs and egg whites with salt and freshly cracked black pepper until well combined. You can also use all whole eggs if you wish.

Next, I heat a 10-inch nonstick oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the oil and potatoes. Season them with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper, then cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly crisp, about 12 to 15 minutes. During the last 2 to 3 minutes, I add the shallots so they soften and become fragrant. You can also save time by using leftover potatoes.

Once the potatoes are ready, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Then arrange the sliced bell peppers on top—when you slice them crosswise they look like little four-leaf clovers, which makes this frittata feel extra lucky, especially around St. Patrick’s Day. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the edges begin to set, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Finally, transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is completely set and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Let it cool slightly, then slide it onto a large plate, cut it into wedges, and serve.

Leftovers

Leftover frittata keeps really well, which makes this great for meal prep. Store slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It’s perfect for quick breakfasts or even a simple lunch.

Reheating

To reheat, warm a slice in the microwave for about 30 to 60 seconds, or heat it in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. You can also enjoy it cold or at room temperature, which makes it great for brunch spreads or packed lunches.

Variations

You can easily change this frittata based on what you have on hand. Add spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra vegetables, or sprinkle a little shredded cheese on top before baking. If you want to boost the protein, diced ham or turkey sausage would also work well.
