Ingredients
8 large eggshalf cup of cheese (I used cheddar this time, last time I used fresh mozzarella)half cup to a cup of firm/extra firm tofu (or lean meat)half cup to a cup each of tomatoes, onions/scallions, peppers, squashes/zucchini, spinach, other vegetables of choice such as mushrooms (whatever you like)salt and pepper to tastevegetable oil for the pan
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees
-Chop all vegetables, tofu/lean meat, and cheese into small chunks
-Crack 8 eggs into a medium sized bowl and beat until smooth
-Oil a nonstick frying pan/skillet/pan (something like 8-10" diameter) you would normally make eggs in
-Sauté the vegetables and choice of protein (lean meat or tofu) until cooked - start with the protein and then add vegetables one type at a time, I usually start with onions and then end with tomatoes.
-Once the protein is cooked add the eggs, then add the cheese and mix around with the vegetables
-Cook the mixture of sautéed vegetables, protein, cheese, and eggs until the frittata sets, about 10-15 minutes of total cook time on top of the stove
-Place in oven set to bake, cook another 15 minutes
-Set the oven to broil (high) and cook until top is brown.
-Remove from oven (remember to use an oven mitt, the handle is hot!) let cool for a minute or two, and then take a pie cutter and divide into 8 slices like a pizza, and serve with a slice or two of a hearty bread (like pumpernickel!) on the side.
Serves anywhere between 4-8 people, depending on if its a main dish or a side, as well as time of day. I ate 3 slices and was stuffed. Great meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and very filling.
