For an easy peasy lunch or dinner or for a little more labor intensive breakfast (I typically like my breakfast fast and easy), try a frittata.
Ingredient list:
2 T olive oil
1 yellow onion
1 small zucchini
1 small red pepper
1/2 dozen or so small black olives
1/4 cup Gruyere cheese
1 T chopped parsley
6 eggs
Here’s my version (adapted from Martha’s version)
Start with some sliced onions, any color will do
some sliced zucchini
red peppers
and olives
grate some Gruyere cheese
crack a half dozen eggs, and whisk them thoroughly
chop some fresh parsley
then coat the bottom of an ovenproof pan with a little olive oil and put the onions in it and place under the broiler on high for a few minutes or until they look like this
take out of the oven and start to assemble the frittata
zucchini
peppers
olives
gruyere cheese
parsley
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables
sprinkle on some salt and a few grinds from the pepper mill and put in a preheated 450 degree oven. After you put the frittata in, reduce the oven heat to 400 degrees and let it bake until it’s puffed up and the center is set (about 20 minutes)
If you decide to make this for breakfast, I would recommend doing it the night before and reheating it in the morning, knives and early mornings before coffee are not something I deal with very well.
And you thought I never made anything remotely healthy
HA!

So Thanks! I think I will actually try to make this on Saturday morning. 🙂
When you come to visit the beach house, would you mind making breakfast?
I was hungry when I got here, and now I’m starving! OMGosh this looks sooooo yummy and really easy peasy! Thanks for the printable link. I always thought Friatta was a way hard to make dish. Thanks for visiting CollectInTexas Gal, Shugar!

This does look very good. Makes me wish I still had some zucchini in the garden.

Because I am such a senior citizen, I have a lot of fritatta under my belt!! It’s such a delcious meal, any time of the day or night. Your pictures were so bright and beautiful and have me ravenous!!!
I’ll bet this tastes as fabulous as it looks! You used some of my favorite ingredients 😛
My mom used to make frittatas, and I had forgotten about them. I think I’ll try yours for lunch today. It looks yummy!

I would have abide by your make it ahead of time rule. Without coffee I would most certainly cut off my finger!
I have never attempted a frittata – but you may have convinced me to try! Have spooktacular Halloween! I say you go as a Rocky Mountain Woman – moonshine and all! LOL

Rocky Mountain Woman you did good! I love to make frittatas. It is an excellent way to incorporate lots of veggies in the diet and use up leftovers.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. O.k., you learn something, but when I come to your blog I learn something that I can actually USE!!!
That looks fantastic! La
This looks really delicious! And you make it look simple and easy to fix. That’s what I like. I’m a quick cook. Thanks~Ames
My youngest would eat those onions right off your cutting board…the rest – not so much…but it looks delic to me!

I’m going to try your method of baking the frittatta. I saute everything, then after the throwing in the eggs and letting it cook a bit, I either put a cover on it or put it in the oven. Thanks!
Yummy, yummy, yummy, I want to put this in my tummy! Frittatta! Fantastic. Perfect F post.
Looks yummy! And the photos are beautiful!
What a beautiful fritatta! Your photograph is fabulous. Thanks for reminding me how much I like them.
I love frittatas and it has been far too long since I have made one. I think I have most of these ingredients…perhaps this will be dinner tonight.
