Chef's Notes

This recipe may also be done as a frittata, quiche or similar egg dish. Try mixing and matching vegetables to suit your taste preference. This recipe may be done the night before if desired, just blend the base with your vegetables, pour it into well-sprayed muffin tins, wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake the next morning.
