And I’m not just bringing you one brunch recipe this week, I’m bringing you THREE: today, Wednesday and Friday. This is going to be the best week ever! In my mind, Brunch is one of the best things ever created. When else can you indulge in both sweet and savory foods and have a mimosa?!
I’m kicking off the week with one of my favorites. A frittata . . . but with a twist!
Scalloped Potatoes.
Because don’t you always have to have potatoes in some form with your eggs? Am I right?
And the best part of this frittata? All of the glorious vegetables . . especially my Baloian Farms Sweet Baby Bell Peppers!
Make sure you check out the recipe card below and don’t miss all of the other fabulous brunch recipes for today AND details on the fabulous GIVEAWAY!
- 2 medium sized russet potatoes, thinly sliced (use a mandolin or food processor)
- ½ cup red onion, diced
- 1 cup assortment red, yellow and orange sweet bell peppers, finely diced
- 2 green onions, finely diced
- 1 ½ to 2 cups cremini mushrooms, chopped
- ½ cup fresh or frozen peas
- 6-8 eggs depending on the size of your pan
- splash of milk or heavy cream
- salt and pepper
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Layer your potatoes in your non-stick (oven safe) pan, covering the entire bottom of the pan and creating at least three layers of potatoes. Set aside.
- Place all of your chopped vegetables into a large mixing bowl. In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix together the eggs and the milk or cream. Stir together and pour into the bowl with the vegetables. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the egg/vegetable mixture over the potatoes, directly into the pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked. Remove from the oven and sprinkle on freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
