Website Wednesday: Leftover Stuffing Frittata Muffins

November 8, 2012

So far this week I have kept with my promises and shared some new Thanksgiving recipes (recipes that are musts for the big day) and now I am sharing some new ways to use up those Thanksgiving leftovers.

First a real life story.

Last year for Thanksgiving Eric and his brother were obsessed with leftovers. Like obsessed with the fact that they were genuinely worried weeks before Thanksgiving that there would be no leftovers.

So they went ‘big’ and needless to say we had a lot of food.

Actually that is an understatement. We had three turkeys, mashed potatoes, candied yams, rolls, roasted asparagus, broccoli salad, green salad, gravy, homemade cranberry sauce, and three different 9×13-inch pans of stuffing.

Oh and lots of dessert.

Leftovers!?! Ha! We could eat our entire Thanksgiving dinner five times over and feed all twenty people we feed the first time again and again.

And still have leftovers!

One of the things I was officially sick of by the end of it all was that darn stuffing.

Too bad I didn’t see this recipe last year. In fact this is one of those recipes that makes you go duh, why didn’t I think of that!

These breakfast ‘muffins’ are a twist on a frittata, and guess what they use leftover stuffing!

I know!

Perfect for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving…. And it totally beats standing in the door of the fridge shoveling cold leftovers in your mouth before you head out with the masses on black Friday!

Thanksgiving Tip: Since I used this leftover stuffing that had a nice earthy flavor and involves sausage, there is not much of a need to add additional spices or meat to these ‘muffins.’ In fact, if we were all mushroom lovers in this house I think I would have preferred mushrooms in this dish (with this particular stuffing) in lieu of the spinach. And if your stuffing doesn’t contain sausage or other meat, feel free to add some leftover Thanksgiving ham or turkey.

PS: I am guest blogging over at Food Fetish. So go by and say ‘howdy’ to my friend Natalie!

    Oh, this is clever! Now I want there to be extra stuffing so I can make these, but maybe not three 9×13" pans…! I'm with you on the mushrooms, by the way.
