Leftover Stuffing Frittata

My sister-in-law, Rhonda, took home several containers of leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner. She's a true foodie also, and is always up for trying something new.

Since my stuffing includes sausage and onions, she thought this recipe would be perfect. So when she called me half way through dinner to rave about this frittata, I knew that this was something to share.

Ingredients
• Cooking spray
• 2 to 3 cups leftover stuffing
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar (regular or reduced-fat)
• 6 large eggs
• 2 large egg whites
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
Directions
Preheat broiler.
Coat an ovenproof nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Put stuffing in the bottom of pan to warm and stir to break up a little. Sprinkle cheese over top.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, mustard powder, and nutmeg. Pour mixture over stuffing and cheese to cover stuffing. Sprinkle Parmesan over top. Cook on stovetop over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the broiler and broil for about 2 minutes, until egg is cooked through and cheese is golden and bubbly.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh parsley.

Normally, I would have waited until after dinner, or even the next day, to call and rave about a recipe. Let's just say that several glasses of pinot grigio were involved in that episode of drunk dialing!
