The Frittata – Easier Done than Said

by Michelle | Jan 17, 2020 | Recipes

 By:  Michelle Jenck M.Ed., Wholly Healthy LLC

Prep Time:  15 minutes

Total Cook Time: 30 minutes

The Frittata works as a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner option.  Packed with protein, it’s also a great way to fulfill that hard-to-meet recommendation for daily vegetable intake.

Inspired by a “mix-and-match” frittata feature in Parade Magazine, this recipe has become a go-to for using up various leftovers.  The hardest thing about this recipe is finding a pan that can be used on both the stovetop and in the oven.  (I use a 10-inch cast iron skillet that I bought from a flea market vendor.)

Number of servings: 6-8

Ingredients:

8 eggs

½ t. salt

¼ t. pepper

1 T. olive oil

1 C. “mix & match” veggies – garlic, onion, spinach, pepper, mushroom, zucchini, and/or broccoli

½ C. cooked ham, chicken, sausage, or bacon (optional)

½  – 1 C. shredded cheese (I prefer Tillamook Sharp)

½ C. fresh herbs such as basil, chives, cilantro (optional)

1 T. “flavor boost” – Dijon mustard, capers, sriracha or pesto (optional)

Top with salsa or sliced fresh tomatoes

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a separate bowl, beat or whisk eggs.  Add salt and pepper and set aside.

Heat oil in skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.  Add chopped veggies.  Sauté for 1- 2 minutes.  Add meat (optional) and sauté with veggies for 2 minutes.  Add any additional optional ingredients.  Sprinkle with cheese and pour egg mixture over the top, covering the pan evenly.  Cook for 2-3 minutes, pulling edges back to allow uncooked egg to run underneath.  Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until just set.  Let stand 5 minutes.  Can be eaten warm or cold.  Tastes great topped with salsa or fresh sliced tomatoes.

Banana Pancakes

by Guest | Jan 2, 2020 | Recipes

Number of servings: 16 pancakes

Time for preparation (including preparation and cooking): 35 min

Ingredients

2  eggs

1 1⁄2 cups nonfat or 1% milk

1 Tablespoon sugar

3 Tablespoons oil

2 bananas, mashed

3⁄4 cup whole wheat flour

3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

Directions

Beat eggs in medium bowl. Add milk, sugar, oil and bananas and mix well. Add flours and baking powder. Mix gently.

Lightly spray a large skillet or griddle with non-stick cooking spray or lightly wipe with oil. Heat skillet or griddle over medium-high heat (350 degrees in an electric skillet).

Spoon 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until tops are bubbly and pancakes are dry around the edges. Flip and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes

To see if skillet is hot enough, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If drops skitter around, heat is just right.

Top with applesauce, fresh fruit or yogurt.
