“Frittata” is a Spanish omelet. This one has fresh organic eggs, vegetables, herbs, and organic cheese. It's simple basics for a healthy breakfast, brunch or even dinner. By adding more eggs and vegetable you can get more servings in this recipe. Or, make it thin and flip it over and add your veggie, sour crream inside. You can add cream sauce, cream of “whatever” soup, depending on your tastes or sour cream, and avocado, use the topping of salsa i.e.
"Eyeball" your ingredient to your pan to make it your own. I keep frozen chopped vegetables in frozen plastic bags even some chopped herbs that are ready to put into recipes ready for any dish. I just take a handful out as needed. For instance, I may bring home green onions or take Swiss chard from my garden or on buy vegetable on sale that week. After cleaning them,washing, cutting up and putting them in containers or zip lock bags. They’re now ready to use throughout the month in recipes and cutting out lots of time and money. It's an easy way to make more cooking time at home easier and especially if your single, or busy working outside the home.
