Breakfast seems to get all of the egg action, which frankly I think is a bit unfair. In fact, I actually prefer a frittata for dinner! They’re mostly hands-off and barely dirty any dishes, and leftovers are delicious both cold and re-warmed. And, as any frittata-lover will tell you, they’re the perfect way to pack in veggies.

Trader Joe’s Frozen Green Foursome

This recipe uses Trader Joe’s Green Foursome, which is a frozen mixture of broccoli, peas, zucchini, and green beans. They really couldn’t have made it any easier to get in a heaping of great greens. If you’ve got picky eaters on your hands, this may be the recipe to ease them in: Vegetables undoubtedly taste better when they’re surrounded by soft, fluffy eggs and crumbles of goat cheese.

  frozen Trader Joe’s Organic Green Vegetable Foursome

• 12 large

  eggs

  heavy cream

• 1 teaspoon

  kosher salt

Instructions

1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350ºF.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron or oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 bag frozen Trader Joe’s Organic Green Vegetable Foursome and cook until warmed through, 5 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, place 12 large eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl and whisk to combine.

3. Spread the vegetables in the pan out into an even layer. Pour in the egg mixture, then crumble 3 ounces Trader Joe’s Chevre on top. Let cook undisturbed until the edges begin to set, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are fully set, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.
