This Healthy Vegetable Breakfast Frittata dish is packed with loads of extra veggies so you can get at least one portion out of 5-a-day needed. Easy to make during busy weeknights and require less than 30 minutes of your time.
It’s an easy recipe that requires simply throwing all the veggies into whisked eggs and milk and then baking it in a round cake pan or baking dish.
I even sometimes have it for dinner or eat it cold in a sandwich. A great recipe if you’re especially lazy to cook during weekends like me 🙂

So what is a frittata?
It is made by blending eggs with milk or cream and then cooking on the pan or baking in the oven until it sets. It is similar to a quiche but without the crust or like scrambled eggs, loaded with plenty of healthy veggies and meats.
The word frittata is actually Italian and roughly translates to "fried."
