Necessity is the Mother of Breakfast
An exotic sunrise led to an interesting breakfast made from a lone banana and 2 ounces of canned green diced leftover chiles I wanted to use up. I decided to make a frittata.
A frittata starts as an omelette, then ends up in the oven.My cast iron skillet can cook on stovetop and in the oven, so I used it for this dish.
Had I added more eggs my frittata would have been fatter, but I was satisfied with my results with two eggs. This was very easy to make, with most of the work done by the food processor. And it was delicious.
Two eggs
1 tablespoon of dulce de leche or just plain sweetened condensed milk
2 ounces of canned diced green chiles
1-2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar or plain sugar depending on how sweet you want it-
1 banana
Put all in a food processor and blend till foamy. Pour into a lightly buttered hot cast iron skillet and leave on medium high heat till the eggs begin to set. Then transfer to a 375 degree oven for five to eight minutes or until the frittata is set.
Remove, allow to cool slightly and garnish slices with guava jam.
It would be great to taste your breakfast.
