What the heck to have for dinner?



Whenever I'm totally pressed for time and am looking for something fast and healthy to put on the table I make a frittata and serve with a side salad.  I usually have the ingredients on hand and you can use whatever veggies you have in your fridge!


Kara's Favorite Frittata Recipe


2 whole eggs
4 egg whites
1/2 cup asparagus, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
1 - 2 TBSP parmesan cheese
1 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste


Preheat oven to 400.


Saute the veggies (except tomatoes) in 1 tsp olive oil in a oven proof non stick skillet over med until tender.  Whisk the eggs together and salt and pepper to taste.  Add to the eggs to the pan and turn down the heat to medium low.  Cook until the bottom of your frittata is set (about 4 or 5 minutes) and then put the skillet into your preheated oven.  Bake for about 5 more minutes until the eggs are firm.  Top with fresh cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
