Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 shallots cut into 1/4-inch slices
10 eggs lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
3 tablespoons plus 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Description
Next time you roast a chicken, use the leftover meat to make this delicious frittata, which also includes Brie cheese and chopped fresh herbs. Round out the meal with toasted walnut bread and a fruit salad.
Directions
In the deep half of a frittata pan over medium heat, warm 1 Tbs. of the oil. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 6 to 7 minutes, adding 1 to 2 Tbs. water if the pan becomes too dry. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the eggs, thyme, the 3 Tbs. parsley, the chicken and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
In the deep pan over medium heat, warm 2 tsp. of the oil. Add the egg mixture and cook, using a rubber spatula to lift the cooked edges and allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath, until the eggs are just beginning to set, 6 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, in the shallow pan over medium heat, warm the remaining 1 tsp. oil. Place the shallow pan upside down on top of the deep pan and flip the frittata into the shallow pan. Cook, covered, until the eggs are set, 8 to 9 minutes.
Carefully slide the frittata onto a plate. Sprinkle with the 1 tsp. parsley. Serve with toasted walnut bread. Serves 6.
