Skillet Breakfast Pizza

Sunday mornings are the sweet spot. We sleep in, the kids watch a few shows – there’s a cozy slowness that I look forward to. After I amble into the kitchen to start the coffee and pull back the curtains, it’s time to make brunch. This Sunday the kids requested pizza, so I whipped up this cheesy, herby, tomato-topped frittata and called it good! And it was so so good. I used veggies from this week’s Misfits Market box (a great low waste and budget option for organic produce), but feel free to switch it up depending on what you have on hand!

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs
• 3T butter or oil
• small zucchini diced
• red bell pepper diced
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• tomato sliced up for topping
• 1/2 C grated cheddar (or whatever cheese you prefer)
• 1 t oregano
• 1/2 t paprika

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Heat oil in a 10 or 12 inch skillet.
3. Sauté zucchini and bell pepper until soft and slightly caramelized. Add minced garlic and oregano and stir for 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper, tasting to check.
4. Whisk eggs with some salt and pepper, and gently pour over veggies in a circular motion (so all veggies don’t slide to one side of your skillet). Keep over medium heat until slightly set (about 3 min). Now, place your tomato slices on top before sliding the frittata into the oven.
5. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes until set, then sprinkle with grated cheese and paprika. Broil for a few minutes until cheese is starting to bubble and turn deliciously golden. Cool for a minute, then slice it up and serve!

How do I make this low waste?

• Eggs in a paper carton (recycle with mixed paper or compost if dirty)
• Veggies bought without plastic bags (just toss into your cart, a reusable bag, or order from Misfits Market)
• Cheese (a larger block in plastic = a little less plastic per pound)
• Butter (recycle paper box with mixed paper)
• Oil (glass jar, wash with soapy water to recycle. or see if your bulk store offers oil on tap!)
• Spices (save jars when spices run out and refill at your local bulk store!)
