Cauliflower And Veggie Fritatta For Four!
So delicious filled with healthy vegetables, tangy cheeses and broiled to a bubbly golden finish. Fritatta is a wonderful way to use up vegetables, cheese and even bits of meat if you choose. Don't limit yourself to my recipe ( though it is fabulous!), feel free to substitute whatever you may have in your fridge. Broccoli, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, zucchini, Swiss cheese or Gouda. All will be just wonderful. The trick is to have everything prepared and then just add it as the recipe progresses. Get your broiler heated up and after a quick pop under the broiler, you're ready to serve.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 Cups chopped Cauliflower florets bite sized works best
- 1/2 Cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 Cup finely chopped sweet Bell Pepper Green, red, yellow, whatever you have
- 1/4 Cup finely chopped Onion
- 3 halves Sun Dried Tomatoes Finely Chopped
- 3 TBSP Butter
- 5 large Eggs
- 1/2 Tsp dried Basil
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/8 Tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 Cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 TBSP grated Parmasan Cheese Romano or Grana Padrana work well
Instructions
- Break off a couple of large Cauliflower flowers and chop them into bite size pieces
- Chop up your onion, peppers, shred the carrots and chop the sun dried tomatoes. Set them aside for a minute.
- Melt the 3 TBSP butter in your 8 inch skillet over medium low heat.
- Add onions and peppers to the skillet and saute for a couple of minutes until soft.
- Add the carrots and sun dried tomatoes and cook for another minute until carrots wilt.
- Layer on the Cauliflower and cover with the shredded Cheddar Cheese. Let this cook for a couple of minutes.
- Whisk the 5 eggs with salt, pepper and basil until well combined.
- Pour the eggs evenly over the vegetables. Cook gently over medium heat until the eggs are set. About 4-5 minutes. The top should still be a bit runny, but the middle should be set.
- Place the skillet under the broiler and cook another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are cooked on top and it's a lovely golden color.
- Remove from the broiler and set the pan on a wire rack. Cut into quarters and serve hot! Now sit back and enjoy a company worthy breakfast your family and friends will love!
