I got a little creative this morning. I used leftover Au Gratin potatoes to make individual sized frittata cakes. I sauteed some sweet onion; about half a large, roughly chopped, in a little olive oil/butter mix. In a large bowl I put about 1/3 cup heavy cream and one beaten egg. I mixed the potatoes and the onion together with the cream and egg. Then with my hands, I formed little 'cakes' and rolled them in a mixture of all purpose flour and corn meal.
After the cakes sat for a few minutes at room temperature, I browned them lightly in a pan with a bit of bacon fat, olive oil and butter. Odd sounding, but it worked. :) Once browned, I drained the cakes on brown paper, then placed in the oven at 325 degrees for about fifteen minutes.
While the cakies cooked in the oven, I fried eggs to the order of each family member. Once done, it was a matter of assembling on a plate: Cakie, egg, bacon and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
