Jim Davis: Hi! I am Jim Davis, a chef instructor at Bryan's kitchen. Welcome, today we are doing leftovers, Thanksgiving Leftovers. Right now we are going to do, a breakfast Frittata. This is a wonderful meal, I don't know about you, but my favorite meal and my much favorite meal is breakfast. And this is great use of Thanksgiving Leftovers. First, I am taking six eggs; remember always break an egg on the flat surface, so that you don't push eggshell into yours eggs. We are just going to stir these up a little bit and season it with little bit of salt and paper. Alright, set those aside for just a minute, I have here a mirepoix, thats carrots, celery, and onions that I sauted in little bit of butter. Then I added our leftover ham and turkey from our Thanksgiving dinner. I am going to add to that some stuffing and some sweet potatoes, just few and some green beans. I also had a little bit of leftover Swiss cheese, so I am going to put that in my Frittata as well. Remember a Frittata is just a baked omelet. So what we are going do now is add our eggs to our base, then put it in the hot oven and bake it until it turns a nice and beautiful golden brown. Now we are going to add our eggs. I added just about a quarter of a cup of milk to my egg mixture and thats ready to go right over top. Alright, end of the oven with our Frittata, a great breakfast meal with Thanksgiving Leftovers.

Okay, here is our beautiful breakfast Frittata, made from Thanksgiving Leftovers, that concludes our series of Thanksgiving Leftovers. Have a happy holiday and remember to use those leftovers.
