BAKED VEGETABLE FRITTATA
This baked vegetable frittata is a savory, homestyle “comfort food” with a healthy twist. It is filling enough to be the star of an easy dinner, as well as the perfect brunch option! This is a great basic recipe, so you can use whatever vegetables and herbs you have on hand. For a more tender and flavorful dish you can add a bit of milk and cheese of choice (see Notes), however you can also make this dairy free and use egg beaters! This uses less oil than a traditional omelette, and you can use shiitake mushrooms to boost the health benefits even further. I prefer a smoked hot sauce like Tabasco Smoked Chipotle, but you try your favorites or omit it completely, if you prefer. This vegetable frittata recipe is done almost completely in your Blendtec or Vitamix blender, but you could adapt it for a “regular” blender as well – just hand chop the vegetables and blend the eggs for a little longer than the times in the recipe. Make it early in the week and have an easy thing to reheat for a hearty, healthy breakfast.

Notes

**Use Egg Beaters if you typically prefer them to eggs.
If desired, you can add dairy, up to an inch cube of cheddar or parmesan cheese and up to 4 tablespoons of milk, which will result in a more tender and flavorful dish.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF EGGS
There is much debate about whether or not eggs are heart healthy. One egg has a whopping 210mg of cholesterol, which is almost your full recommended daily value of 300mg. If you have high cholesterol, Egg Beaters or egg white might be better for you as the whites contain significantly less sodium, fat and cholesterol while maintaining a large amount of protein. Egg yolks do contain vitamin D, folate, and calcium, though, so your egg consumption should depend on your preferences and health needs. If you prefer the taste of real eggs but are trying to cut cholesterol, try this recipe with 4 complete eggs and an additional 6 egg whites.
