Cook the Frittata

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F

  2. In a separate medium mixing bowl, crack the 8 eggs.  Add the ¼ cup milk, salt and pepper and whisk until all yolks are combined.  Set aside.

  3. Preheat a 10" sauté pan and add 1 tbls extra virgin olive oil.  Then add the veggies (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, scallions, but NOT the zucchini) to the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then stir to ensure even cooking.  Cook for 5 minutes stirring a few times throughout until starting to get soft.

  7. Put the pan into the preheated oven for 20 minutes.  Test the center of the frittata with a knife to see if it comes out clean or if the egg is still raw in the center.  If still raw, put it back in the oven for another 5 minutes and continue to test every 5 minutes until done.
