A Frittata with Ramen? Yes!

Bacon and Onion Ramen Frittata

Ingredients:
2 packages of ramen- 50 cents
1 packet of chicken ramen flavoring- free!
2 cups of water- free!
1 onion- $1.39
4 cloves garlic- 20 cents
1/3 a package of bacon- $1.11
1 tsp cumin- free
4 eggs- 90 cents
1/2 cup fat free ricotta- 50 cents
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella- 57 cents
Salt & pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, add 2 cups of water to a pan and let it boil.
2. Add two packets of ramen to the pan and cook it for 2 minutes (a bit al dente- it will cook in the oven).

3. Drain the ramen, add one packet of seasoning, and toss in a bowl.

4. Add eggs, 1/4 cup of ricotta, and pepper to taste to a food processor. Blend until smooth and frothy.
5. Add egg mix to ramen and toss.
6. Cook bacon in a dry cast iron skillet until enough fat has come out to cook the garlic and onion, then add garlic and onion.

7. Cook until garlic and onion are caramelized, and bacon is crispy on the edges.
8. Let cool enough that the mixture won't cook the eggs in the ramen, then add to noodle mixture.

9. Add rest of ricotta (split up into little balls) and mozzarella.
10. Pour mixture back into the cast iron, squash flat, and then place in oven and cook for 20-30 minutes (until the top is set).

This was so good warm and cold. I highly recommend peas as a side dish. I bet it would be good with any meat, cheese, or meat folded in too.
