Stir fry vegetable frittata for Meatless Mondays

Stir fry vegetable frittata for Meatless Mondays

People often ask me what I always have in my fridge and pantry. Except for the obvious things, like milk, butter, cheese, rice, etc, I always have eggs available.

I love eggs. It is so versatile. I am not a morning person, but you can get me out of bed immediately when you offer me a soft baked or boiled egg with a slice of toast!

When me son gets unexpected hungry friends over, (and teenagers are always hungry) I often whip up omelettes.  Sometimes I will fill it with cheese or left over mince or chicken and other times it will be plain.

I also love a frittata. A frittata is an open omelette and contains at least one optional ingredient. This can be herbs, vegetables, etc. A frittata is usually divided into slices and eaten by a couple of people. It can be eaten hot or cold with a salad, vegetables, bread, etc.

A frittata is normally cooked slowly on the stove and then finished off in the oven, but I cook my frittata for the whole cooking process in the oven.

You can use almost any vegetables, such as brocollini, baby marrows, green beans, etc.
