Fritattas

I was so tired tonight but needed to eat something Healthy after a long run.  I love eggs.  I really love egg yolk that has been swimming around toast. :)  But tonight I need to keep the toast out of it and invite the veggies.  This recipe is easy, cheap and very versitle.  Like a lot of my recipes, you can use whatever veggies you like or whatever you have on hand.  Everyone in my family likes these, except for Ryan, of course.  I made his seperate...I hope he knows what a lucky kid he is.  Last week he wasn't so lucky, he went to bed hungry as he didn't want to eat what was on his plate and it was eat or don't eat.  He choose the latter.  Anywho...try making this dish...I think you'll love it.

This recipe is enough for 5 thick servings...pair it with fish, potatoes, pancakes, or scones.

I started by frying up a chunk of sausage...about 1/2 cup...just enough to have a little of the taste throughout.  Ham or Bacon would taste good too.  Also, you can add cheese...but really, who needs those extra calories for a flavor you won't miss much once you taste those wonderful veggies!  Take whatever veggies you want to use out and chop them up.  Thats it.  Chop them up and put them in your frying pan with just a little drop of oil and start to saute them. Here is what I used:

1/3 cup chopped bell peppers (combo of red and green)
3 green onions, including the green
1 large tomato chopped
1/2 cup chopped cliantro
2 cloves of garlic

Take 8 eggs and whip them up with about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of milk.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Pour into the pan with the cooking veggies and let cook while you stir it for about 2 min on medium...you want the eggs to start to stick together, but still quite runny.  Pour into 8X8" pan.  Place in oven and bake for about 25 min.  Dinner is done.
