Veggie Feta Omelet/Frittata

The January Fantastical Food Fight is all about omelets which are perfect since January is National Egg Month. Thank you to our super host, Sarah for all the work she does behind the scenes! I'll be sharing a frittata with you since an omelet and a frittata are only different in that you fold the fillings into an omelet and in a frittata, you mix the fillings together with the raw egg.  Both are equally delicious.


I love a good omelet and my best tip is to use high-quality eggs. I find they fluff up a lot more. That's probably good advice for anything that uses eggs. Ha!  Also, a lot of my omelets end up as frittatas, because I haven't mastered the fold yet. #truth



Like all omelet and frittata recipes, you can adjust this to fit your family's likes and desires. I love a food like that. In my frittata, I can make a section with no asparagus for my daughter.  You can do that with an omelet, too, and even adjust the cheeses.  No end to the creativity!  Meatless Monday is a breeze with this dish.

  9. I haven't tried making a frittata before but I do love an omelet from time to time. We eat a bunch of eggs, as I cook them when I need a quick meal. Eggs are something that I don't have to twist anyone's arm to eat them.
