Weekend Frittata Breakfast

One of my favorite things to bake on the pellet grill is a Frittata, especially on lazy weekend mornings.  While everyone is still cuddled in bed, I make coffee and fire up the Traeger. Then I start to prep.

You can customize the ingredients to your taste or what is available. Sometimes I like using my smaller 10.5" Traeger Cast Iron Skillet, but this time I used my 12” Lodge Double Handled Skillet. Seriously, you’ll hear me say this over and over: "If you don’t have one, buy one." You won’t be sorry.

And if there happens to be any leftovers, they're great reheated the next morning.

We all have cast-iron products in some form or another for cooking - they can't be matched.

Notes

The ingredient list is a guide. I do not measure stuff. I adjust to what I have. Sometimes the Frittata doesn’t set soon enough and the vultures (family) start squawking at me. If that's the case, I place it under the broiler for a few minutes and voila! Vultures are happy.
