Southwest Fritatta

Cleaning out the pantry to avoid going to the grocery store on a really cold day...

5 Eggs
1 Can Diced Tomatoes, strained
1 Can Kidney Beans, rinsed and drained
1 Red Pepper, diced.
1 Shallot
1 clove Garlic
2 TB Butter
2 small Chipotle peppers
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Seasoning (used Ancho chile powder, herbes de provence, salt & pepper)

Sautee the shallot and garlic, set aside. Preheat oven to 350, heat butter in medium skillet, beat eggs with seasoning and Chipotle, stir in the cheese and other ingredients. Pour into skillet, cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, then put in oven and cook until top is no longer runny (15-20 minutes).

We had 2 servings for leftovers (will make a good breakfast), but could easily have eaten a little less and had 3 or 4 leftover servings. Infinitely variable as a fritatta. Also, I toyed with the idea of making this a risotto instead of a fritatta, and that would work just as well with these ingredients... just rice and chicken stock instead of the eggs.

C'mon... fried lizard throats and hairball soup? I don't care whether it's braised or not, that's so '90s. And I tried the caramel oatmeal reduction It tasted like a big rubber pancake. Is that all you got!!! Um... wait.. uh, sorry wrong blog...
