Vegetable Frittata

July 27, 2010 in Breakfast, Egg by Joyce Bunderson

If you’re striving to introduce more vegetables to your diet, think about using vegetables in your breakfast. Making a frittata is an easy way to do it. Omelets are another way to add vegetables, but turning is more difficult than the frittata procedure.

The main thing to remember in making a frittata is that the vegetables need to dry out a little – notice the steam coming off from the sizzling vegetables in the picture below. This picture represents step 3 in the recipe below – to sauté the veggies, so the frittata will not be watery. Remember, our goals in Dr. Grandma’s cooking suggestions are threefold: 1. Yummy results that hungry mouths ask for again and again; 2. Ease of preparation; 3. Good health.

Vegetable Frittata is traditionally served for breakfast or brunch, but it’s an excellent lunch or dinner also.
