Breakfast frittata

Frittatas are a fantastic way to use up all the little bits and bobs you have lingering in your fridge. That's probably not the most flattering description, but it's true. It certainly was for our family this morning, when I whipped one up using some leftover bell pepper and spinach, topped it with a load of cheese, and popped it into the oven for brunch. No surprise, my wife loved it. Much more of a surprise, so did my kid. I enjoyed it too, mainly because it fulfilled my three personal requirements for a good frittata. First, it has to have meat, or something like it. Whether that's sausage, bacon, or smoked tofu...it needs meatiness. Second, it has to have some sort of juicy vegetable component. And third, it has to have onions. For some reason, a frittata without onions seems incomplete to me. Put these things together, and you've got guaranteed deliciousness.
