Introduction: Quick and Easy Veggie Frittata

My family raises chickens for eggs so we always have an abundant amount of eggs on hand. This is just one way to use a whole dozen for a quick put-together meal for the entire family.

Step 1: Things You Will Need

one dozen large eggs

an assortment of vegetables such as potatoes, zucchini,yellow squash, fresh green beans,carrots, bell pepper ( I used red and green),onion * **

*leftover vegetables work great with this recipe. Pretty much anything you can dice to bite-size pieces. Be creative!

**I've also used fresh chopped spinach

1-2 tablespoons of butter

1-2 tablespoons of olive oil

crumbled cooked sausage and/or bacon ( or leftover ham is great too!)

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

salt and pepper to taste

Italian spices (optional)

topping suggestions: taco sauce, salsa, diced green chili, ketchup , tobasco

1/4 cup shredded colby/jack cheese (or any cheese blend you have on hand)

skillet

9 x 13 casserole dish

Step 2: Cooking Your Veggies

Heat oil and butter in skillet on medium to high heat.
Saute' vegetables with garlic until tender-crisp and a little brown, reducing heat as necessary to avoid over browning. Add salt, pepper, and Italian spices (if desired) to taste. Add meat to vegetables and heat through.

Step 3: Beat Eggs

Crack and whisk 12 eggs.

Step 4: Combining in the Pan

Pour cooked vegetables into greased 9x13 pan.

Sprinkle 1/8 cup of cheese over the vegetables.

Carefully pour whisked eggs over veggies. Do not stir.

Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Step 5: Bake

Bake in 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 22-30 minutes until eggs are fluffy and set.

Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Serve frittata warm with taco sauce or other suggested sauces.

Enjoy!
