Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
Roughly 2 1/2 cups chopped leftover crudites like carrot and celery sticks
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)
6 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheese like cheddar or monterey jack - or whatever else floats your boat
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cut the veggies into small pieces. You want 2 1/2 cups or so of diced vegetables.
  • In a 8- or 10-inch cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the veggies, and saute over medium heat until they're tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the rosemary, if using, and cook for another minute or so more.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, and whisk together.
  • Stir in the salt, pepper, and cheese.
  • Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the cast iron skillet, and stir, mixing the vegetables with the egg mixture.
  • Move the skillet to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, until the middle is set (it doesn't jiggle when you shake the pan a little).
  • Cut into slices and serve plain or with salsa. Or double-decker with some cheese in the middle. Yum.
