Ingredients

1 cup green peas, frozen
2 tablespoons butter
10 large eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

1

In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and salt. Whisk until well blended. Mix in the frozen peas and cheddar cheese.
2

In a 12 inch skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Swirl pan around to evenly distribute butter over the entire bottom and sides of pan.
3

Pour egg mixture into the pan and using a rubber spatula, give the mixture a quick stir to distribute peas evenly.
4

Turn heat to medium. Allow egg mixture to cook without stirring, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven’s broiler. Once the edges are cooked and the center and top are still semi-liquid, transfer skillet to the broiler and continue to cook until the top and center are fully cooked, about another 4 minutes.
5

Remove from oven and allow frittata to cool. Place 1 slice of frittata inside of lunchbox. Serve with rolled and sliced ham, fruit and a treat.
