Challenge #55 - Kitchen Surprise

[miss_s_b]

Your challenge this week is to make something using only the things you already have in your kitchen. No going out and buying special ingredients. No sneaking off to the woods to pick berries. No behind the scenes slaughter of a convenient beastie for roasting. Just what you already have.

Kitchen Surprise: Fridge Frittata

[el_staplador]

I was seriously hampered by a lack of onions, but I came up with this, and it's quite tasty.

Ingredients
2 small potatoes
1 head broccoli
1/2 red pepper
a little oil
3 eggs
a little milk
salt and pepper
4 slices 'sandwich brie' (this is like any other sort of brie, but comes in a cuboid shape rather than a disc)

Equipment
Frying pan with a handle that won't melt
Spatula
Microwave
Microwaveable dish
Grill
Sharp knife
Chopping board
Peeler
Bowl

Method
Peel the potatoes and cut into slices about 1/4cm thick. Place in microwaveable dish with about a tablespoon of water, cover and microwave for five minutes. Cut the broccoli into small florets and the pepper into small pieces. Cook in a little oil in the frying pan for about five minutes, keeping an eye on it to make sure the broccoli doesn't burn.

Meanwhile, break the eggs into a bowl. Add a dribble of milk and a smidge of salt and pepper.

Add the cooked potato slices to the vegetables in the frying pan, bashing them with the spatula to break them up if they've stuck together, and stir until you have a good balance of the various ingredients across the pan. Pour the egg mixture in over the top. Cook for another five minutes or so. While it's doing that, arrange the brie on top.

Cook under the grill for 10 minutes or until the top is browned.
