Easy Veggie Frittata

When it comes to supper, I like something quick, tasty and healthy. Cue the Frittata. A Frittata is basically an open-faced omelet. It starts on the stove top and finishes in the oven. Add a salad or fruit salad side and you have a nice, tasty, quick meal. One of the best things about a Frittata is you can use what you have on hand. Throw in whatever veggies you have on hand along with eggs and cheese, and voila’ – you are ready for Master Chef. The other great thing about a Frittata is that it’s versatile. It’s great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It even tastes good cold. My daughter loves to take a wedge of Frittata in her lunch!

A couple of tips. A solid nonstick pan is the key. If you are still worried about sticking, spray it with a little Pam before you start. Don’t use too much cheese. If you go overboard with the cheese, it will stick. If you like extra cheese add a bit more on top just before it’s finished. Don’t overcook. Overcooked eggs are not at all appetizing. If you are able to get your hands on some fresh new potatoes, you don’t even have to peel the spuds – just wash and slice!

Saute potatoes in oil and garlic until tender. You’ll notice in the picture that my garlic is getting a little brown (probably because I was taking the picture). Don’t brown your garlic as it can get bitter.
