Green Veggie Frittata

A simple and tasty one-pan brunch or dinner- just round out with fruit and/or salad. We especially like to make this frittata recipe for the versatility of its leftovers, which will be good for a couple of days.

Since it is not a tall fluffy frittata, it makes an excellent picnic lunch, breakfast-to-go bar, or "crust" for an open-faced ham and/or cheese tomato sandwich topped with greens.

Though it was technically created as a green veggie dish, feel free to be a rebel and throw in a few sliced sauteed mushrooms, radishes, peppers, etc.

1 Tbsp. olive oil

2-3 Tbsp. chopped spring onion, or other mild onion

1 small clove garlic, minced or pressed- optional

4-5 c. mixed small-chopped or shredded green vegetables of your choice –broccoli, peas, asparagus, zucchini, kale, spinach, etc.

6 eggs, beaten

¼ c. milk

¼ c. grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400.

Saute onions in the olive oil in a 10” oven proof skillet for 1-3 minutes, until soft. Add veggies and cook just until barely crisp-tender. Don’t overcook— they will continue to cook in the oven.

Remove from heat.

Note: If you are using vegetables that have very different cook times, add the ones that will take longer to the pan first, then delicate ones later.

In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cheese, salt and pepper.

Pour into the skillet, pushing the veggies around so that they are evenly distributed throughout the frittata. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until it has set (test with a toothpick or knife).

Cut into wedges and serve.
