Here are 2 more wonderful breakfast recipes that are a bit more advanced, but I think the kids can handle them. Tell them you want them to make you the vegetable Frittata for breakfast tomorrow.

VEGETABLE FRITTATA WITH PARMESAN

Serves:  4

2 tbsp. trans-free margarine

1 onion chopped

½ cup sliced tomatoes

4 large mushrooms chopped

½ large red bell pepper chopped

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. thyme, crushed

¼ tsp. ground black pepper

4 large eggs, at room temperature

1 cup liquid egg substitute

1½ tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

  • Place the broiler rack in the lowest position (6” to 7” from the heat source) and preheat the broiler.
  • Melt 1 tbsp. of margarine in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  • Add 1 onion, ½ cups tomatoes, 4 large mushrooms, ½ bell pepper, ¼ tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. thyme, and 1/8 tsp. of the pepper.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and no juices remain in the pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the 2 eggs, 1 cup egg substitute, the remaining ¼ tsp. salt, the remaining 1/8 tsp. pepper and the 1½ tsp cheese.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tbsp. margarine in the skillet with the vegetables over very low heat.  Pour in the egg mixture.  Cook, uncovered and without stirring, for 15 minutes or until only the top remains runny.  Place the skillet under the broiler and cook for 2 minutes, or until the eggs are just set.  Slide the frittata onto a large serving plate to serve.
