Hey Y’all,
I think you’ll get a kick out of today’s video! My guest chef is so special and was super easy to be with! Kristin & I had a blast making this video, so I hope you’ll enjoy watching it. Blake did a great job whisking the eggs & was my main taste tester. He gave our frittata 2 thumbs up!
Friends, frittatas are one of the easiest egg dishes to make! It’s basically a baked omelette that can be changed up every time you make it. Use your fave meats, veggies and cheese and you’ll have a great meal that works for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Spoiler Alert: I’ve got to say having the Blake Cut Out in the corner of my kitchen has been so much fun. However, at first our precious Abby wasn’t sure of this newcomer. She approached “Blake” with a low growl, which was pretty doggone funny! Blake has become part of our family! Even Marco & Keira walk by and say “Hi Blake”!
So, until the “Real Blake Shelton” comes to visit Connie’s Truffle House, we are enjoying our new friend in our home. He’s easy to please and never makes a mess! LOL!
ENJOY A LITTLE TASTE OF HEAVEN RIGHT HERE
WITH BLAKE SHELTON!
Love y’all!

How to make it:

- In 2-3 tbsps of bacon grease, sauté onions until tender (I also add butter!)

- Top with tomatoes and lightly tap into egg mixture for great color
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Cook on the stove top for 2-3 minutes until eggs start to “set”
- Transfer to preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until eggs aren’t runny in the middle
Serving ideas:

- For great taste & color, garnish with sour cream, guacamole or sliced avocados & salsa
For a Vegetarian Frittata:
Omit bacon, obviously. Steamed broccoli is awesome in a frittata. Also, a potato and asparagus frittata is delicious! Check out the leftovers in the frig for great frittata ingredients.
Y’all know a frittata is basically a baked omelette. They’re so fun to make because you can add your favorite meats, veggies and cheese. Cheddar, brie and parmesan are great choices.
Leeks add a ton of flavor as well as garlic.
So, I can’t wait for you to create your own frittata and share your recipe and pictures with me, ok? I love hearing from you.
Love y’all,
connie
