Easy, Get-Your-Veggies-In Recipe: Zucchini, Tomato, and Feta Frittata

It's too cold for salads, IMHO

By Jenna Amyot January 24, 2024

It's winter. It's cold. We don't see the sun very much. If you offered me money to eat a salad, I'd probably decline (though it would have to be a lot of money). So, in an effort to eat more vegetables (one of my mindful, small goals), I've whipped up a frittata that you can enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I thought I'd share it with you in case you also lived exclusively off cookies for the last two weeks of December...   

Ingredients:

- 8 whole eggs

- 1/2 c. milk (I use fat-free)

- 1 zucchini (quartered, cut into 1/4 in. slices)

- 10 cherry tomatoes (halved)

- 1 red pepper (diced)

- 1/4 c. crumbled feta

- 1/4 c. cooked and cooled farro (according to package directions)

- 2 garlic cloves, pressed

- Salt & Pepper

- EVOO

Cook farro according to package directions and let cool. Set aside. Roast veggies and garlic with salt, pepper and EVOO at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Let cool.

In a large bowl, beat eggs until fluffy. Add milk, 1 tsp. salt & 1/4 tsp. pepper. Fold in vegetables and feta. Pour into greased pie plate (9-10") and bake at 375 degrees F. for about 25 minutes, or until set in the middle. Serve warm.
