A can of beans (your choice of red, navy or garbanzo) stands in as the main protein source in this vegetarian frittata, which you can load up with any vegetable you have on hand. It’s especially delicious with sliced zucchini or summer squash and cherry tomatoes. Turn to a pouch of prepared rice to make this come together in less than half an hour.
Is there anything better than a breakfast recipe that practically cooks itself? This veggie-packed quiche recipe is simple to prepare and cooks in your slow cooker, so the morning meal is ready when you are.
If you wish, use pancake mix instead of biscuit mix in this savory quiche. Either one helps stabilize the quiche so it holds a clean-cut edge.
