Fritatta

This is a good breakfast food for weekday. It needs to be prepared ahead of time, but just needs to be microwaved in the morning on your way out the door.

This is not the exact recipe as written since I don't have my cookbook in front of me, but this is a type of recipe that you modify to taste.

Dice up 1 -2 whole onions (depending on how much you like onion)

Add a small amount of oil (canola or olive oil are best) to a large saute pan. Add the onions to the pan and cook until golden brown. Add garlic powder to taste.

Add two lbs of meat - I used fresh churrizo from whole foods and it was great, ground beef will work too, a little less flavor thought

Cook the meat in the pan until cooked almost all the way through.

In a mixing bowl mix 12-16 eggs together. Once the meat is mostly cooked add the egg to the pan and mix up.

Cover and simmer at low heat. Cook eggs for about 15 minutes or until cook throughout. Take off the heat and immedialy remove from pan.

The amounts listed above will make a total of approx 42 blocks of protein.

For Ray and I that was 6 days worth of breakfast in one pan. This is also something that can be frozen and reheated (although not quite as good).

Also, once you get the method of cooking the eggs you can experiment with seasoning and meat choices to change things up.
