More About This Recipe

  • All the flavors of a classic cheeseburger, baked into a frittata! I’m a huge fan of having breakfast for dinner (brinner!), but sometimes I’ll do the reverse and take some dinner elements and make them more breakfast-ready. That’s definitely the case for this simple cheeseburger frittata. It’s easy to make and really hearty. Definitely great for a crowd on a cold winter day. If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet you can brown the beef and onions and then transfer everything to a baking dish. Serve this cheesy masterpiece with some ketchup on the side.

  • Step 
    4
    Sprinkle the beef mixture with about 1/2 cup of grated cheese (leave most of it to top the frittata later). Then pour the egg mixture over beef and onions and spread out eggs so they’re even in the dish.

    Transfer dish to the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 350° F.

    Remove frittata and top with the rest of the grated cheese. Then return to oven for 5 minutes.
