Add the butter to the inner pot and turn sear/sauté on low medium.
While the butter is melting, measure out the stuffing or your other ingredients. Whisk together the eggs, salt, cream. Add chopped green onions if desired.
When the butter has melted, spread the stuffing or whatever frittata ingredients you are using over the bottom of the inner pot. Pour over the egg mixture. Let cook for 3-5 minutes or until the edges start to set. *timing is based on the height of the ingredients being around the 3-4 cup mark, if your ingredients are less in depth, the cook time will decrease. If they are higher in depth, your cook time will increase.
When the edges are set, grate some cheese over the top if desired and close the crisping lid. Select bake/roast on 350°F/175°C and bake for 5-10 minutes or until you can't see any liquid egg when you press down on the top.
Here are some examples of a few different Frittatas you can make in the Ninja Foodi.
Seafood Frittata
If you have leftover shrimp, scallops, or lobster, making a seafood frittata is a great way to use them up. You can even use raw seafood in your frittatas because they cook so quickly, but I would cut them into bite size pieces to make sure they cook in the time it takes to make a frittata.When I think of a seafood frittata, I immediately think of an alfredo style sauce with a pinch of nutmeg. To turn that flavor combination into a frittata, I would increase the cream to ½ cup, increase the eggs to 8, add about ¼-½ teaspoon of nutmeg and a few ounces of grated parmesan cheese and 2-3 cups of bite size seafood chunks.
Southwest Frittata
Was it taco night last night? Turn those leftovers into a delicious frittata! Use about 1 cup of leftover taco meat, ½ cup of diced onions (cooked or raw), ¼ cup green pepper chopped (cooked or raw), 8 eggs with about ¼ cup of salsa and ½ cup of shredded cheese.Make the Frittata and then top it with cold shredded lettuce, raw onions, more salsa, sour cream, and green onions. Cilantro would be great! Sliced avocado, too!
Leftover Sub Frittata
This one might sound strange, but if I can make a delicious frittata out of cornbread and sausage stuffing, you can make on with your leftover sub! Any kind should work just fine. Italian, Meatball, Steak & Cheese all sound great to me!Simply cut up your sub (take off the lettuce unless you like warm lettuce)into small pieces. You will want about 3 cups. Spread that over the bottom of the pot. Add in the same egg mixture I used and follow the same instructions.
Pancake Frittata
What a great way to use up leftover pancakes! Simply cut them into bite size pieces (about 3 cups worth), mix up the egg mixture and add a little syrup. Pour it over the pancakes and cook according the recipe instructions. I wouldn't add cheese to a pancake frittata, but I sure would add the cooked bacon or cooked sausage in the mix or on top!These are just a few of the combinations that came to mind that you might not normally think of. Simply look in your fridge to get ideas on what to put in your frittata!
