Any Vegetable Frittatas

Eggs.

Thank goodness they are still on the “healthy” list. It seems that every year more of the foods I love are banned in the health world! I am waiting to see if coconut sticks around as a miracle food. With our over-consumption of this good-for-you-fat, I am left wondering.

Anyway, back to eggs. 

Getting four kids fed and off to school every day means mornings in my house are busy. I constantly seek out time-saving cooking techniques that allow us all to enjoy our time together in the morning. Delicious food with optimal nutrition and no hassle are musts in my kitchen. Instead of standing over the stove-top making omelets, I often prepare this any vegetable frittatas dish the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning for a crowd-pleasing family friendly protein dish.

Frittata

To demystify the fancy word “frittatas,” it is just a baked concoction of eggs and veggies. Try your favorite ingredient combinations and experiment a little. I put some of my favorite mix-ins in the recipe notes below. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Can be made the night before and reheated in an oven.
If you use watery veggies like spinach and tomatoes, sauté them long enough to remove moisture and add flavor.
Try these all-star combinations: smoked salmon and onions or spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms.
If you can tolerate dairy, add some shredded cheese once in a while.
