Wonderful Crustless Quiche: Frittata









Crustless Quiche: OR Frittata!!

Let's face it, these days carbs are out and protein is in! Frittata is just like quiche but without the crust. This is nice for many reasons including you don't have to make a crust or buy a hydrogenated oil filled one from the store. Most likely you have all these ingredients right in your refrigerator. 

Frittata Recipe:
6 eggs
3/4 cup liquid, such as milk, almond milk, broth
3/4 veggie filling (such as onions, peppers, mushrooms or what ever you have on hand)
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper 
2  teaspoons butter or olive oil or grape seed oil



Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease 10 1/2 inch round pan or 9 x 9 inch baking dish and set aside. 
In a skillet over a medium heat saute vegetables until tender and onions are translucent. 
Beat eggs, milk, cooked veggies, butter, salt, and pepper until well blended. Pour mixture into baking dish and sprinkle cheese. 



Bake 20 minutes or until set. There should be no visible liquid egg when it is done.
