Garden Frittata Recipe
Real Restaurant Breakfast Recipe
A fresh from the Garden
Frittata Recipe makes a truly delicious and nutritious meal.
It is wonderful to live in a farming valley and have easy
access to freshly grown, hand-picked, organic vegetables and herbs.
I make use of this blessing in many ways, including this
restaurant recipe.

- Add broccoli, spinach, garlic and herbs and heat for about one minute
- Add the eggs and turn the heat to low and let sit without stirring until the eggs are set underneath (to save time, lift the edges of the eggs with a rubber spatula and allow the liquid egg to run underneath)

- Remove from heat when the frittata is puffed up and golden
