I know that it’s a little late to share this recipe which uses leftovers from Christmas dinner, but the basic idea is that frittatas are a great way to use your leftovers. It’s hard to cook for two (and a half! My daughter is almost 9 months old) so I usually cook for four and save leftovers in tupperware in the freezer for my husband to take to work. He prefers a hot lunch over a sandwich most days, and it’s easy to just grab something...
