Veggie Frittata

Veggie Frittata 

I woke up early this morning and was inspired to make a good breakfast to start the day.  My youngest daughter called last night asking how to cook a breakfast casserole without the bread cubes called for in the recipe.  So today's post is in honor of her and her desire to cook and eat low carb.  This recipe can be made with any low carb veggies and you may even add bacon, ham, or sausage.  Different combinations will yield a different and delicious taste each time.  A  Frittata is great for breakfast or lunch and is good warm or cold!.  Use your imagination and taste buds and start creating your own perfect Frittata.
