Veggie Medley Frittata
"I found this on the back of a box of Morning Star Farms "bacon" strips. I added one (7 oz) can chopped green chilies and I used sharp cheddar cheese instead of the regular. I also have used a can of green beans in place of the broccoli, but cut them up. We loved it. I always make this when my mom, who is a vegetarian comes to visit. Although it is a vegetarian bacon substitute, once it's mixed in and baked, it still has that satisfying bacon flavor and it's hard to tell that it really isn't bacon. YUM."

Definitely worth every star! I thought the seasonings were perfect (added 1/2 t. salt). Great flavor! Didn't have broccoli, so I used frozen cauliflower instead plus the other veggies as called for, and it worked great. Also used 1/2 c. sharp cheddar because that's all I had, and about 1/2 c. mozarella plus the 1/2 c. parmesan the recipe calls for. This was delish! My hub couldn't stop raving about it. I didn't use bacon, but that would be delicious. Instead of sour cream, I served home-made guacamole with it. YUM! Thanks for sharing, Granny! This will be my base frittata recipe for sure.

I am married, have three children and two grandchildren. My youngest "oops" baby is just turning 17 and is going to be a senior in high school in the fall.. I love to cook and collect recipes. I get a lot of my good recipes from church potlucks. Since I am now retired and a stay at home mom, I have time to search the RecipeZaar site and try a lot of the recipes. We love living on the coast and would never move back inland!
