Farmer’s Market Frittata

Thrilled by those farmer's market finds? Here is a guide to turning that Saturday's farmer's market into a Sunday brunch frittata. Frittata means "fried" in Italian and generally fried vegetables, meats, pasta, and cheese bound together with eggs. It is the perfect one-pan dish that is generally started on the stove and finished in the oven. Here are some suggested ingredients that can be adjusted to your taste and finds.

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

½ cup onions or leeks, small diced

DIRECTIONS:

1.     Preheat the oven to 400⁰F.

2.     Prepare all vegetables by thinly slicing or chopping. (These will be added according to hardness, so keep separate).

4.     Whip the eggs, sea salt, and pepper with a fork. Add the herbs. Pour over the hot softened vegetables.
