oh, dear… just woke up
hmm.. late again
yikes, just a minute
a bit too much wine last night, methinks…
better lay back down on that nice comfy pillow..
listen to those sweet bird songs..
a chickadee… *sigh*
Only 34 more days until Spring!
I think I will make it…
what I wouldn’t do for a wee bit of breakfast in bed..
ahhh…
that’s more like it…
an eggy frittata thing
they say eggs are a hang-over cure
throw in a few veggies for good measure, I suppose
but something’s missing…
that’s better.. a pretty flower on the plate
hmmm, what else is missing?
oh.. yes! a latte.. please don’t forget the extra shot
sugar sprinkled of course
perfect!
hmm someone wants a wee taste…
ahhh, little pupster of course
waiting.. waiting.. waiting..
oh, dear, better get up and make it myself,
first take little Lucky for his morning snow walk…
oh, boy, too tired to cook now..
I think this frittata eggy thing might just have to be supper tonight instead…
breakfast for supper
one of the best things Mom and Dad ever taught me
back to bed now?
I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
Breakfast in Bed Frittata
- 12 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tbsp butter or margarine or 2 strips bacon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 yellow pepper, diced
- 1 small zucchini diced
- 5 green onions chopped
- 2 thick slices ham, diced
- 2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a large bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a buttered 11?x7? glass baking pan.
- In a frying pan, fry up a bit of bacon, and set aside. Crumble bacon when cooled. Alternatively, heat butter or margarine. Add diced yellow pepper, zucchini and onions to the frying pan and fry, stirring until vegetables have softened and slightly browned.
- Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish. Spoon and sprinkle the vegetable mixture over top of the egg. Sprinkle ham (and bacon if using) over top and then finish with a generous handfuls of cheese over the entire top of the frittata.
- Bake, uncovered for about 25-30 minutes or until the egg is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Oh yummy! Got me wanting to get up and cook.. some Irish Breakfast tea will do 😀 thanks for such a great dish!
Reblogged this on Unique and Unpredictable.
Lovely photos 🙂
Thanks, Evelyn!!
Good lovely morning! 🙂
Top of the morning to you, Andy!!
I love frittata too,.. perfect breakfast with perfect shots! .. c
Morning, c, you’re up early? Just kidding.. you’re up long before this, right? A friend has been coaching me on crema and making perfect espresso shots… I’m not quite there yet!:)
Beautiful photos—and an even more beautiful dog!
I had my breakfast a long time ago and I still haven’t eaten lunch even thought it’s past 3pm here so your lovely images of breakfast in bed frittata are making me feel very hungry indeed.
Lol, I forget some of you have been up for hours!!
Oh Smidge, this is sooo lovely. This whole morning is exactly how I love to spend the weekends – and it’s always the most pleasurable time. In fact, just reading this now, at my desk, brought such a calming, wonderful feeling to me. I love making frittatas. I’ll have to remember to place a flower on my plate too now!
I’m glad you liked it.. we have Teacher’s Convention today and tomorrow.. so a long weekend it is:) Have a wonderful day!!
Beautiful shots
Beautiful prose.
Beautiful puppy.
This one was just plain beautiful all the way around!
Thanks (Lucky says thank you as well, his had to be shot in soft focus.. he’s in desperate need of a bath!! Lol) Have a wonderful day!!
What a fantastic breakfast beautifully presented and photographed.
🙂 Mandy
Thanks so much, Mandy!!
Okay, now my stomach is really rumbling….YUM!
I was thinking it would be fun to make individual servings of this.. have a wonderful day!!
Thanks! You too!
I really enjoy a good frittata, Smidge, and you’ve prepared a great one here! To me, they are the perfect meal and can be easily served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Now, that recipe of yours would be enough for most bloggers to present but, once again, you surround your recipe with beautiful photography and wonderful commentary, making your post a delight to read. You put a lot of work into your posts, Smidge, and I know I’m not the only one to recognize and appreciate your efforts. Thank you!
Amazing again! You really are a food and photographing genius!
Thanks so much.. it is a fun hobby for sure!
What a great breakfast to wake up to!
I wish!! Oh, well, it was great as a supper!!
Who wouldn’t want this delivered to them in bed? This looks so good!
Thanks, Joanne!! I agree!!
I like all things eggy. This looks great.
Thanks:)
Oh, Smidge. That looks really wonderful :D. What an absolute treat!
Such beautiful light in those photos! And I love frittata, it’s a favorite brunch treat (i.e. breakfast when I have time to make it more complex than oatmeal or yogurt).
Thats made me feel pretty guilty having served up breakfast burritos this morning
This looks like a beautiful hangover breakfast, but I’m with you…go for the extra sleep and have breakfast for dinner. My mom used to serve us breakfast at dinner every now and then too. It was always such fun! And now my kids love it. 🙂
Hangover breakfast here I come! This looks sensational…along with the latte, flower and of course, the very adorable pup. Love you pup. Infact, he/she is pinned on my “Here Doggie Doggie” board on Pinterest. Your pup always makes me smile.
What a beautiful start to the day Smidge. I would love to wake up and be presented with that bowl of fresh fruit and the frittata. Not sure it’s going to happen though. Certainly not today. Must get up out of bed and make myself something much less exciting like a piece of vegemite toast! And yes, frittatas are a great start to the day or a wonderful comforting supper.
Your frittata, as well as breakfast in bed, sounds amazing! I love having breakfast for dinner, too!
I would be one happy lady if that tray (and probably the adorable pup) showed up one morning while I was in bed. 🙂
Dinner Divine! What is the difference between a frittata and a quicke?
oh my…I meant quiche…
They are so similar, I very often think of a quiche as having a pie crust and the frittata is baking right in a pan. This one is in a baking dish, but my friend used to stir up veggies in a cast iron, pour the eggs on top, sprinkle with cheese and put it in the oven.. The baking dish made the slices thinner, I think I would go with the cast iron next time:)
Mmmmmm….Smidge, this looks wonderful. Your pictures and writings always make me smile. Another gorgeous post my dear. I love this recipe too, those ingredients are everything I love 🙂
Thanks so much Sarah… so nice to follow each other’s blogs now:) xo Smidge
I LOVE fritattas. LOVE THEM. Now I’m hungry and I’m not even hungry!!! You are so inspiring!
Hahaha, that’s the hard part of a cooking blog… not making myself hungry reading everyone’s posts:)
That is one of the best looking frittatas I’ve ever seen! Nothing like breakfast in bed for Valentines Day! I’ll take that every morning, once you adopt me 😉
And leftover frittata is *so* perfect for reheating for breakfast. Guess what *I’m* going to make tomorrow!!
EXCELLENT journey !
Now this.. is what I’m talking about :). I want my breakfast in bed experience to be as beautiful as this meal. Everything just looks wonderful. I will have to print this out and leave hints on this post too lol
*sends over empty plate* I am very tired this morning, and that would go down a treat!
Breakfast for supper is always a good thing I think! Lovely recipe, lovely coffe cup and lovely, lovely Lucky!!
What a lovely post, Barbara!
I too want breakfast in bed… not a chance, though 😉
Maybe for mother’s day…
Oh Smidge did you have too many of those blood orange champagne drinks from the other day. I am sure with this hangover breakfast you will be feeling stupendous soon. BAM
seems so delicious… Thank you dear Barbara, have a nice weekend, with my love, nia
Your frittata would be perfect any time of the day. I love the thought of spring being just around the corner, especially since I’m heading back north.
Smidge – you dream the loveliest of eggy dreams! This is positively heavenly fare! Showing up here (even if I rudely catch you in your pajamas) is such a delight, always! Beautiful photographs! And I love your recipe! xoxo! spree
Now that is the perfect breakfast! I’m a big fan of frittatas, and a bigger fan of eating them in bed. Hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! x
I always forget to do this… We did it a lot when our kids were little, they loved it and especially when they were sick:) I was spoiled this Valentine’s… Have a wonderful weekend!! Xo Smidge
Wow, what a delicious frittata! This looks delicious and super flavorful. Great blog you have here – I’m glad to have found you!
Oh, so yummy! And the presentation in such a dreamy way makes we want to snuggle in bed and wait for hubby to serve me this lovely breakfast 😉
Luvs me some breakfast for dinner!! <3 nom nom nom…
or breakfast for breakfast is good, too!! 😉
The recipe looks delicious, but your china is just soooo lovely. You have great taste, Smidge! 🙂
I think I have the funniest set.. only one of each pattern:) It’s something I treat myself to now and then so nothing matches but its fun for photography:) Have a great weekend!
