Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing the veggies
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped leftover crudités such as carrots, celery, peppers, green onions, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary optional
  • 6 large eggs the base of your frittata
  • 1 cup shredded cheese such as cheddar or Monterey Jack
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt to enhance the flavors
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking.
  • Step 2: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped leftover crudités and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender. If using dried rosemary, add it now.
  • Step 3: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs, add salt and freshly ground pepper, and whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
  • Step 4: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed veggies, give a gentle stir, and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
  • Step 5: Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for about 3-5 minutes until the edges start to set.
  • Step 6: Carefully transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  • Step 7: Once baked, let the frittata cool for a few minutes, slice into wedges, and serve warm, at room temperature, or cold.
