Vegetable Frittata


Serves: 8

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup leeks, chopped

1 cup red bell pepper, diced

1 cup mushroom, sliced

1 clove garlic

3/4 pound potato, cooked, peeled and sliced

3 ounces Swiss cheese, lowfat, shredded

2 cups egg substitute, thawed (or whole egg equivalent)

3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated


Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400*.
2. In 10-inch nonstick oven-proof skillet heat oil. Add leeks, bell pepper, mushrooms & garlic. Cook until leeks are tender, about 3 minutes.

3. Transfer to medium mixing bowl & set aside.

4. Spray skillet. Arrange potatoes in single layer and sprinkle swiss cheese over potatoes.

5. Add egg substitute to leek mix & carefully pour over potatoes.

6. Cook over med-hi heat until bottom is set, about 5 minutes.
7. Sprinkle frittata with Parmesan & transfer to oven.

8. Bake until mixture is set, about 10 minutes. note: whenever I have cooked this, it has taken about twice that time.
