Eggs are one of the cheapest sources of protein. And they offer a delicious and easy avenue for getting veggies, like in this frittata. Using frozen vegetables saves prep time, too.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as canola or avocado

  • 2 scallions, green and white parts separated, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup frozen mixed veggies, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots, roughly chopped

  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten (see Tips)

  • 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese

  • ½ whole-wheat English muffin, toasted

  • 1 medium orange, cut into wedges

Method

  1. Heat oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, frozen veggies (do not thaw), and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in scallion greens.

  2. Pour eggs evenly over the vegetables and sprinkle with cheese. Cover tightly with a lid or foil and remove from heat. Let stand until the frittata is set and firm, 4 to 5 minutes.

  3. Serve with English muffin half and orange wedges.
