Fridge cleaning frittata

So, while my parents and sister were cooking up a huge feast, my husband and I decided we needed to clean out a bunch of stuff in our fridge, so we made a simple frittata for dinner. The beauty of the frittata is that you need eggs and potatoes, but after that anything really goes! We used ginger beef sausages from Stairsholme Farms but any type of meat will do (or no meat necessary if you want to go veggie).

Frittata

Ingredients:
6-8 eggs
some milk
potatoes, thinly sliced and slightly boiled (I steamed them in the microwave for a few minutes)
mushrooms
spinach
onion, diced
tomatoes
cheese
sausages, cut into bite sized chunks

Preheat the oven to 350. Saute the onions and then whatever veggies you feel like putting in (I used spinach and mushrooms since that's what we had) in a heavy bottomed pan that can go in the oven. Remove the veggies and cook the sausage pieces until done. Remove the sausages and put the potatoes in. Brown them slightly, then add the veggies and sausage back in. Cover the whole thing with a mixture of eggs and milk. Allow to cook on the stove for a few minutes, then layer tomatoes and cheese on top (I used buffalo mozzarella, but anything will do. I love this with goat's cheese in particular!) Put the pan in the oven and bake until it is firm and set (not runny). You may want to broil it for a minute or two to get the cheese nice and brown. Serve immediately.
