This loaded veggie frittata is a wonderful take on a meatless entree and is a great way to use an abundance of eggs and garden-fresh vegetables!
Swiss chard, kale, tomatoes, onions… even bell peppers. It’s such a wonderful thing when you can walk out into your backyard garden and pick everything you need for evening dinner. Would you agree?
This past year, Swiss chard has taken over my backyard garden. One thing led to another and I found myself with a sort of … jungle of chard growing across the backyard. Thankfully chard works wonderful in this Cheesy Garlic and Swiss chard side dish, as well as this Loaded Veggie Frittata.
It’s even better if you can also walk into your backyard and pick up fresh eggs, too.
Loaded Veggie Frittata
Get started on this dish by dicing some bell peppers and onion. Then combine with a mix of diced kale or Swiss chard leaves – or mix and match a little of each.
Saute in a little butter and minced garlic for a few minutes until soft. Then add in the diced tomatoes and basil, set aside. Whisk the eggs with the seasonings, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
Cheese – Mmmn!!
Once combined, stir the egg mixture into the veggies and pour into an ungreased pie plate. Bake in your 350 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your loaded veggie frittata with a salad, side of bread or a fresh fruit. This is one of my favorite ways to use an abundance of eggs for a light (meatless) meal that won’t break the bank!
