Vegetable Frittata
Vegetable Frittata
Quick and Easy, Vegetarian, Dairy free, Gluten free, Nut free, Soy free, Kid friendly
Ingredients
- 10 eggs
- 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 small onion
- 1 leek, sliced into half moons.
Other vegetable combination ideas: Spinach and artichoke; roasted cauliflower and caramelized onions; mushrooms, onions and peppers; zucchini, tomato and basil. Use any vegetables that you have or that your family enjoys. In total, you want to end up with 3-4 cups of vegetables.
- 2 cups broccoli* (about 2 crowns)
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp basil dried (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
- 1 tsp thyme dried (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
- 3/4 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 1/4 tbsp shredded cheese (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup salsa
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the eggs and whisk until combined. Add the milk, ¼ cup of cheese, and salsa to the bowl, and whisk well. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in an oven safe sauté pan** on medium low heat. Add the leeks and onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become soft and slightly brown. Then add the broccoli, and sauté for an additional 3 minutes (until it turns bright green and mostly cooked).
- Add the garlic, herbs and salt, and cook for an additional minute.
- Keeping the pan on medium low, add the egg mixture. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix the frittata mixture as if you were going to scramble the eggs. You want them to start cooking to reduce the time in the oven. Stir for about 1 full minute, then turn off the heat.
- Place the sliced tomatoes on top of the frittata, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Place in the oven, and cook for 25-35 minutes, depending on the depth of your pan. The frittata is cooked when the egg on top is cooked through.
- Let cool for a few minutes, and then enjoy!
- ** If you don’t have an oven safe pan, follow directions through Step 4. Then, add the frittata mixture to an oven safe baking dish. Place the tomatoes and remaining cheese on top, and cook for 25-35 minutes.
Enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Notes
Frittata’s are definitely one of my favorite quick, healthy meals to throw together. For SO many reasons.
- They are healthier than a quiche since you don’t have the added calories of the crust (granted, I LOVE quiche, but it’s more of a treat).
- It is relatively quick and easy to pull together and cook.
- ANY vegetables work. Use what’s in season and looks good at the market. And if you don’t have fresh veggies on hand, frozen veggies work just as well!
- It works for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
- It’s low maintenance, but also fancy enough for a brunch party!

DFM receives Fairfield County’s Community Foundation Grant for 2020
For the 11th Year Fairfield County’s Community Foundation’s Grant to CityCenter Danbury Farmers’ Market Supports Fresh Food for All
DANBURY, Conn. — A $38,000 grant from the Fairfield County’s Community Foundation (FCCF) will enable the CityCenter Danbury Farmers’ Market to make fresh produce accessible to people who might otherwise not have access to healthy food options. The grant also supports new COVID-19 protocols to help keep shoppers safe.
The Danbury Farmers’ Market runs every Friday 10 am to 2 pm, from June 19th through Oct. 30th at the Danbury Railway Museum.
Fairfield County’s Community Foundation awarded the grant from a component Donor Advised Fund to support the Danbury Farmers’ Market Community Collaborative’s (DFMCC) Better Food for Better Health program. The donor-advised grant provides seniors, veterans, women, children and SNAP (formerly food stamps) recipients with market cash incentives for produce, and local farmers benefit by selling more produce.
Peggy Zamore, nutritionist and coordinator of the market programs, which is managed by CityCenter Danbury, said, “Over the past eleven years, the Community Foundation has awarded the Danbury Farmers’ Market Community Collaborative almost $300,000 for our work from this donor-advised fund. The donor advisor, who wishes to remain anonymous, learned about the Danbury Farmers’ Market Community Collaborative many years ago from their philanthropic advisor at Fairfield County’s Community Foundation. This significant level of funding is hugely appreciated by the Collaborative and the Danbury community. Without Fairfield County’s Community Foundation continued significant support, our health promoting incentive programs would simply not be possible.”
“Fairfield County’s Community Foundation is proud to support CityCenter Danbury’s Farmers’ Market once again. This support specifically comes from a FCCF donor-advised fund holder, who cares deeply about fresh food access and Connecticut’s working farmers. We are thrilled to help keep this gem of an initiative going strong in downtown Danbury – now more than ever,” remarked Karen R. Brown, the Community Foundation’s Vice President of Development & Philanthropic Services.
Among the services supported by the Community Foundation’s grant are:
- Creating a safe space following the COVID 19 protocols
- Accepting and matching Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
- Matching state Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program vouchers, up to $9 per week, for low-income seniors and recipients of The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
- Providing Market Fruit & Veggie incentive coins for seniors and veterans.
- Offering Virtual Nutrition, Health & Fitness information and classes.
This generous donor-advised grant is one example of more than 169 grants totaling over $3.7 million that have been awarded since mid-March 2020 through donor advised funds at Fairfield County’s Community Foundation. A year-over-year comparison shows that during that same period last year the Community Foundation has seen an increase of more than 385% in grants to nonprofit organizations made through the hundreds of donor-advised funds it manages.
