Vegetarian Breakfast: Broccoli Frittata, Tomato Toast, and Banana Milk topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 3 cups + 1/3 cup low-fat milk
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 5 slices of whole grain bread
- 1/3 cup grated low-fat Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 large eggs + whites of 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, cut in half
- 1 ripe tomato, cut into 4 pieces
Preparation:
- Divide the sliced bananas evenly among four glasses, mash lightly, and top each glass with 3/4 cup of milk. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Combine the broccoli and 1 tablespoon of water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes, carefully remove the wrap, and drain.
- Tear one slice of bread into small pieces and soak in a large bowl with the remaining 1/3 cup milk until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the sautéed broccoli, cheese, basil, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Heat half the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until the bottom of the omelet begins to set, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and continue cooking until the center is set, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast the remaining bread, then rub each slice with garlic and top with a slice of tomato. Drizzle the toasts with the remaining 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Cut the frittata into quarters and divide among four plates. Serve with toast and banana milk.
