Grilled Veggie, Cheese & Bacon Frittata
HOLY smokes is this tasty! Great for breakfast, brunch or dinner! I had lots veggies & cheeses leftover from our Thanksgiving celebration. I decided it was time to get creative. I didn't see any recipe here to fit the bill, perused many and came up with this. Any of the veggies can be increased to your liking. If you significantly increase the veggies, you may need to add another egg . I used a panini pan to grill the veggies. Assemble and bake in a pie plate. Enjoy!

- Sprinkle with cheeses and bacon.
- Mix together eggs, half and half and Dijon mustard until well blended. Pour over veggie & cheese mixture.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until center does not jiggle. The frittata should puff up as it bakes. *Use a knife to check the center for doneness. This may not work very well because the cheese will come up on the knife edge but the center should be firm.
- Slice and enjoy! Serve with a green salad.
