Do you frittata?
We recently created 1800 macarons (plus more) in 3 days, so needless to say we had a load of egg yolks left over, so in fact I made this for dinner one night the same week, using just egg yolks. It was so good I had to share. I do think it suffered slightly from being all egg yolks instead of having the whites involved as well, so for this version I have written it as eggs, but feel free to use up leftover whites or yolks that you may have lingering in the fridge after the baking festivities of December!
A frittata is really a baked omelette when it comes down to it. I love my cast iron pans, and they are the perfect vehicle for a quick saute on the stove with a trip to the oven and then straight to the table after that.
I borrowed flavours from my own recipe Indian Chilli Cheese Toast (Eggs Kejriwal) (which you should also make) and then riffed off that with veggies that I had in the fridge and garden.
Give it a whirl and make your summer simple. (Though this would be perfectly fine during cooler months as well!)
