Vegetable Frittata

A frittata is an egg-based Italian dish similar to an omelette or crustless quiche, but is cooked in a skillet or pan on top of the stove.  With a frittata, you can just about anything to it that you want.  From meat, to veggies, to whatever else you can think of or have a taste for.  Today's taste was an all veggie frittata.

First add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet.  Heat and coat the pan with the oil.  Add your vegetables and saute' until the vegetables become transparent.  Below are diced celery, green onion, carrot, peas and corn.  In a separate bowl beat 2 eggs until well mixed.  Pour over vegetables.  Add kosher sea salt and pepper, and cover skillet with lid.  Turn heat to very low and allow to slowly cook until the center is cooked.

When the center is cooked, remove skillet from heat and sprinkle with cheese or not.  The cheese is optional.  Cover for 2-3 minutes to allow steam to melt the cheese.  Using a turner or spatula, loosen edges and underneath.  Place frittata in dish of your choice and Enjoy!

Baked Avocado & Egg

Here's a simple and quick breakfast idea that's packed with protein and other nutrients.  To make just simply need a whole avocado and 2 eggs.  Cut the avocado in half  length-wise and remove the seed. Take a spoon and scoop out some of the avocado to make enough space for the egg.  Crack each egg and place one in each half of the avocado.  Sprinkle with cracked pepper.  Place avocado on top of a muffin pan to hold in place.  Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.  Add grated Parmesan cheese. (optional) 

A healthier option to this dish is to use one egg.  Whisk egg  in a bowl and pour into each half of the avocado.
