Tomato Frittata

Feeds an army, tasty enough for them to come back for seconds. It works well for breakfast or dinner. This frittata is chock full of vegetables and protein - an important part of my healthy diet plan. Serve with romaine spears on the side for a fresh, cold crunch and cantaloupe chunks as a sweet ending.

1/2 t. coarse salt

1/2 t. Italian herb mix

18 eggs, whisked together

2 c. half and half

4 c. toasted bread, scissor cut into small chunks

3 c. fresh spinach leaves, scissor cut into ribbons

1 c. mushrooms, chopped

1 med. onion, diced

1 green bell pepper, seeded, diced

1 - 4 oz. can jalapeno peppers, with liquid

2 T. + fresh basil, scissor cut into ribbons

2 T. + fresh parsley, scissor cut

1 1/2 c. feta cheese, crumbled

1 c. Parmesan, grated

1 c. cherry tomatoes, multi-color

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a spouted mixing bowl, whisk salt, Italian herbs, eggs and milk. In a large greased, flat baking dish (lasagna pan works well) arrange bread pieces in a layer. On the bread, layer spinach, mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper. Add jalapenos, basil, parsley, and feta to egg mixture which will help evenly distribute the smaller pieces throughout the dish. Pour egg/milk/vegetables mixture over bread/vegetables coating all. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean - 60 min. approx. When it's done baking, let it rest for a short time on top of the stove to finish setting up...if you can wait that long.

Once dinner is in the oven and the table is set, I'm bounding down the stairs to my basement sewing room to stitch cotton pocket aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads

Or, I'm busily putting the finishing touches on hand knit hats and scarves worked by me from upcycled recycled yarns - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughters have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers for leisurely breakfast wearing.

My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she hand knits upcycled recycled yarns in various textures and colors into warm, cozy striped scarves and afghans.
