Vegetable Garden Fritata

This is a yummy dish that can go for almost any meal and has endless variations depending on what is in your kitchen or garden! It's loaded with veggies and has plenty of protein to boot!

1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp minced garlic (or generous sprinkling of garlic salt)
1/2 TBS minced onion
1/2 of a small zucchini, diced
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped cauliflower
1 small Roma tomato, diced
1 whole egg and 2 egg whites
1 TBS milk
a sprinkle of rosemary
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F custom broil. Saute garlice, onion, zuchinni, and cauliflower in olive oil in a small nonstick frying pan on medium heat with a lid on, lifting lid occasionally to stir. Meanwhile, whisk egg, egg whites, and milk in a cup. When veggies are soft and starting to brown, pour the egg/milk mixture on top evenly. Top with diced tomatoes and sprinkle on rosemary, salt, and pepper. Leave on medium heat on stovetop for a few minutes until you see the egg cooking on the sides (meaning the bottom is cooked). Then put the whole frying pan in the oven on the top rack and let broil for about 5 minutes, or until the top is cooked and starting to brown. Remove from oven (don't forget to use a hotpad!) and invert onto a plate. Set a second plate over it and turn onto the second plate so it is now right-side-up. Serve and enjoy!

Variations: you can use almost any veggies in your fritatta--green onions or crooked neck squash are great to throw in at the start, and fresh spinach is fabulous when you weave it in with the diced tomatoes. Feta cheese (which I am out of) is also amazing when added with the eggs. Get creative and enjoy all of those healthy colors!! You can also vary the spices. I often use minced, dried onion (a sprinkling of it) and if I do not have garlic, I just use a lot of garlic salt instead of salt. I love rosemary, but try something you like and let me know if it's better! I can eat this whole dish myself for lunch, plus a couple of homemade biscuits, so you can obviously increase the veggies and eggs to fit your family size!
