Total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

• 5 large eggs
• 1 cup egg whites
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat milk
• 1/2 cup light sour cream
• 1/4 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped baby spinach, including frozen* or fresh spinach
• 1/4 cup roasted red bell peppers, chopped
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• Pinch of black pepper

*If using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and drain to rid any excess moisture.

3. Add cheddar cheese, artichoke hearts, spinach, and roasted red pepper to the egg mixture. Lightly mix to combine.

4. Pour the egg mixture into a greased baking dish, cast iron skillet, or another oven-safe dish. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the center is set and top is golden brown. If desiring a crispier top, broil for a minute or two while paying close attention to prevent burning.

Have eggs needing to be used? Or perhaps you just want to keep stocked with a ready-prepared breakfast to enjoy in the future?

Whatever the circumstance, prepare and freeze the frittata! Simply cook according to the directions, allow to completely cool, then tightly wrap. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When ready to enjoy, pull frittata from the freezer to thaw overnight. Reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick and satisfying breakfast!

Other freezing tips:

• Bake in a disposable pan, especially if not eating the frittata in the very near future. (You might need that nice baking dish soon!)

• Slice before storing for a single serving breakfast. Or, bake egg mixture in muffin tins, remove individual servings, then freeze.

No matter when you serve up and enjoy the frittata, it is sure to please personal tastebuds and any crowd!
