Holiday daze.
This week is quite a WEEK. There’s a booty load of things happening cosmically (hello Conjunctions, hello Age of Aquarius) as well as festive holidays. I grew up celebrating Christmas and still enjoy the festivities that surround the holiday—which of course includes all the cooking. As most people are probably experiencing, this year is quite different in terms of celebrations ( I’m hunkering down here in Seattle with the cats and my roomie who is working), but that doesn’t mean goodness can’t flow abundantly! And obviously I had to start the day with a tasty breakfast.
Surprise, surprise, it was egg based. I made a tray bake frittata to share full of potatoes, leeks, carrots, garlic, broccoli and sharp cheddar cheese. Such an easy peasy cook, too!
What you will need:
one leak
a big ol’ carrot
a couple potatoes
half a head of broccoli
a few cloves of garlic
the cooking oil of your choice (I used olive oil!)
about six eggs
about a cup of milk (I used oat cramps)
as much sharp cheddar cheese as you’d like (or whatever cheese you want)
the seasonings of your choice (I used za’atar, sumac, salt and pepper)
an oiled casserole dish
a big ol’ pan to sauté the veggies in
a pot to cook your broccoli in
a big ol’ bowl to mix the eggs and milk together in
Alright, head that pan to a med/high heat and turn your oven onto about 375 degrees F. While those things warm, chop your leeks, carrots and potatoes into about quarter sized chunks. Coat the bottom of your hot pan in oil and throw your chopped veggies in and cook them until soft. While they cook, cut that broccoli into quarter sized florets and boil them in a pot of water until cooked through. Once your broccoli is tender, drain it and add it to the pan with the other veg and dice up that garlic to add in too. Once all your veggies are incorporated together, add your seasons, give them a good mix and turn off the heat.
Now let’s prep your eggs! Crack about six eggs into a bowl and add about a cup of milk. Whisk them together well to make sure all the yolks scramble well. Now that we’ve got the goods prepped, add your veggie mix to your oiled casserole dish (you don’t want your frittata to stick to the sides!) and pour in your egg mixture! Top it with the cheese of your choice and throw it in the oven for about 25ish minutes!
Once it passes the clean knife test you know your good to go! Let it cool for about 5 minutes and dig in! I enjoyed mine with a piece of toast slathered in ghee.
I know I say it all the time, but frittatas are the best and easy to share. They are versatile and can fit any palate!
Love you all, nourish that sweet body and I hope you are celebrating in whatever way best serves you this year <3
