Frittata














Those who have eliminated eggs out of their diet; sure are missing out. Rob and I eat A LOT of eggs. This recipe has Freezer Queen stamp of approval. Nothing better than have breakfast already made and delicious. Just unthaw and reheat (lightly grease glass pan) in a 350-degree oven till pipping hot. Frees up your weekend mornings to do an early hike!

Ingredients:

  • 12 large eggs, whipped till fluffy with a Wonder Whisk ( love it!)
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 small zucchini, grated
  • 4 ounce chopped green chili
  • 8 ounces shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • 5 slices cooked bacon (400-degree oven for 15 minutes), cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
I use a Nordic nonstick lasagna pan ( purchased at McGuckins Hardware in Boulder) (cooks evenly and NEVER sticks!) rubbed with a thin layer of margarine. 
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and pour into a prepared pan. 
Bake at 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes until toothpick comes clean in the middle.
Cool on rack.

Variation:  12 eggs, 2 small chopped red sweet pepper, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, and 2 Hot Italian sausage links (Boulder Sausage is the BEST) with skin removed and cooked, 8 ounces Pepper Jack Cheese, 1/2 cup half and half, and salt and pepper to taste.
