Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it…thank you!
why do some people prefer “meatless?” TY
Some for health benefits, some to save money. You can easily add bacon, diced ham, or breakfast sausage would be good too. It’s just an idea to adapt to your own 🙂 Thanks
It’s better for the environment too! Look it up
Oh good one!
Ethical reasons, as well.
Thank you for the recipe Lina!
Sure!
This is why we do- https://www.drfuhrman.com/library/what-is-a-nutritarian-diet.aspx
10 years ago I would have said you were crazy if you told me I would be eating no animal products.. But we were introduced to Dr. Fuhrman and the rest is history. Sometimes you can see him talk on PBS.
Because some of us love animals of all kinds with our hearts and not our stomachs.
Taking out the meat makes it a healthier option for those of us looking to eat less meat, therefore consume less cholesterol. Don’t get me wrong. We love the meat! But doctor says eat less of it.♡
Looks good to me 🙂
Also what temperature do you put I it in the oven?
It says 400 degrees.
Thank you! lol reading is fundamental 😉
That happens to me sometimes too. A recipe looks and sounds so good your brain skims over the details lol
Ladies..does anyone no ..if u use egg beaters/egg whites..do u still use the same amount of milk ???…and with the milk… can i use skim???..id love to make this camping..on the gas grill..tia..
Some people use meatless Monday’s to save money and help your family get more portions of vegetables, it’s good to have at least one day a week without any meat. It’s a great way to get your picky kiddos to eat their veggies in a fun way. You all can plan your meatless Monday meals together. 🙂
For us vegans you can use 1lb firm tofu, alternative milk, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, and turmeric (for color & health benefits). Mix in food processor; the cook time is a bit longer too 30-40 mins but similar results!
Thanks! I’m a vegetarian, but have been planning to start doing vegan Mondays.
And I *love* the taste of nutritional yeast! In fact, I found a great recipe for a “cheesy” sauce that I use regularly now.
I’ve been looking for a pan to make frittatas in the stove/oven that isn’t cast iron. Does anybody have a tried and tested pan they would recommend that isn’t too heavy?
I made frittatas in Circulon Hard Anodized pan (stove top/oven). Worked great for me. Just wrap the handle with aluminum foil.
If you have Corningware, it woks both on stovetop and in the oven.
The touch of mustard and peas were great. I added sprinkles of onion and garlic pwdr, Italian seasonings, turmeric, cumin, two jalapenos, a diced zucchini, and used a whole dozen eggs. What a wonderful meal! Thanks.
Can I freeze this recipe after cooking? I made it and it was phenomenal! Just have a bit extra and would love to be able to nuke a bit in the AM.
Thanks for the recipe will be a staple in my deck of cards 👍🏻
