Yakisoba Fritatta Skillet Topped With Creme Fraiche and Caviar

I’M THINKING THIS FANCY YAKISOBA FRITTATA SKILLET TOPPED WITH CREME FRAICHE AND CAVIAR IS GOING TO BE THE ANSWER TO YOUR HOLIDAY BRUNCH CHRISTMAS DREAMS COME TRUE.

I was challenged to work with yakisoba noodles from JSLFoods and turn them into a breakfast dish so I got to thinking – how do we make it satisfying, simple, and SPECIAL for the holidays – without a lot of clean up required.  Did you know I don’t dig doing dishes?

Yakisoba means ‘pan-fried noodles’ and that’s exactly where the dish starts and ends – in the cast iron pan. They add a nice bite to this frittata and simulate what maybe a thinly sliced potato would do with a lot less work – coupled with the cremini mushrooms, roasted red pepper, caramelized onion, and spinach – in this very savory, Chrismas-y looking dish.  The ‘secret sauce’ is using cream cheese whisked with oat milk instead of heavy cream or whole milk to give this...

Chicken Sausage, Spelt and Pepper Skillet (with a vegan swap)

There’s nothing that says ‘comfort’ like a warm skillet and when it comes to flavor, color and texture, this hits on all cylinders.

My Chicken Sausage, Spelt and Pepper Skillet from my book, Eat Like You Give a Fork: The Real Dish on Eating to Thrive, combines protein (you can swap a plant-based sausage like LightLife or Beyond Meat, or do tempeh), slow burning superfoods grain and veggies to the table in a meal that satisfies and literally brings itself together in the oven. The grain cooks perfectly in the oven because there’s plenty of liquid to drink up. A great family meal when it gets coupled with a fresh salad and maybe an extra scoop of spelt.

PRO-TIP: If you can’t find spelt, long grain brown rice is a good swap.
