Calico Pepper Frittata

It's #TasteofHomeTuesday again, and this week's recipe came from the Comfort Food Makeovers cookbook, which I got as part of the Special Delivery Winter Box.  I marked so many recipes in the cookbook, I had a hard time deciding which one to try first!

I know it's crazy, but I just started cooking eggs this year.  I didn't really care for them as a kid, and my son had a sensitivity when he was little, so I never made them for him either.  But I'm trying to expand my food world a bit, and this Calico Pepper Frittata looked like a great way to do it. It's packed with delicious veggies, and really is a fast dish once you do all the prep work.

The only change I made was to use red, yellow and orange peppers, no green bell peppers.  At the very end, the top was still a little underdone for my tastes, so I stuck it under the broiler for a bit.   I absolutely loved this.

I've been eating healthier for a few months now, and it was a great way to get in my veggies and protein.  It reheated great, and made a perfect on-the-go breakfast. You could really use any veggies you wanted, add bacon or sausage.  So versatile.  Thanks so much to Loretta K for sharing the recipe!
