Make breakfast more exciting with a delicious and hearty frittata made of corned beef. It’s loaded with potatoes, green peas, eggs, and more for a delightful, energy-rich food for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

I keep a stock of canned beef in the pantry because it’s my go-to whenever I’m short on time or am too lazy to cook an entire meal but want something more filling than a sandwich at dinner.

I have made many delicious dishes using canned meats, like the nilaga, sinigang, spaghetti, pandesal, and my absolute favorite, frittata. The egg dish is simple to prepare yet satisfying and delicious. It’s an energy- and protein-rich breakfast that is perfect for a start to your day!

To cook canned corned beef, a standard method is to sauté it with potatoes. There is a way to use leftover ginisang corned meat to prepare this frittata. Or, better yet, cook an entire batch from scratch!

While you can use any corned meat, I prefer the chunky varieties. I suggest using frozen peas rather than canned ones since they are more vibrant, more appealing in color, and have a savory taste.

Tips to Cook this Recipe

• Mix the eggs until blended, as too much beating can create excessive air and cause a dry and unappetizing texture.
• Be careful not to overcook and bake until the frittata is barely cooked. The frittata will simmer in the pan’s remaining heat.
• If you’re using a smaller or bigger pan, you can adjust the number of eggs to match the pan’s dimensions. For example, you could use six eggs to make a pan that is 6 inches and eight eggs in an 8-inch pot.
• Use a cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe skillet because the frittata will be baking in an oven. For a stovetop finish instead of in the oven, reduce the heat, cover and cook until just set.

Serving suggestions

1. Corned beef frittata is delicious hot or chilled. It is excellent for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, with a side of rice cooked in oil or steamed and the condiment ketchup.
2. The egg dish can also be ideal for serving as a sandwich. Lightly toast the pandesal roll, drizzle mayonnaise, and top with a slice of frittata. Add tomato slices and lettuce. Could you take it as a snack during the day?
