Asparagus almond frittata


Here is a recipe that my friend, Margaret, sent me. Frittatas are great. They are one of those clean-out-your-fridge kind of meals- you can take whatever veggies and meat you have and throw 'em in, and it's almost guaranteed to be delicious.

8 eggs or equivalent egg whites or egg beaters
2 cups cooked veggies (asparagus or broccoli)
2 cooked/diced chicken breasts
2/3 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup cottage cheese (optional)
1/4 cup plain or unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Beat eggs, add salt and pepper and remaining ingredients, mix well. Pour into greased 9 inch glass baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until you can insert a knife in the middle and it comes out clean. Cool and refrigerate covered, lasts several days.


She's going to try out a sweet version as well, and hopefully lets us know how it goes:
Subtract veggies and chicken, add 1 t cinnamon and 1-2 cups berries.

Thanks, Margaret!
