Lazy Man's Frittata For One

For those unfamiliar, a frittata is sort of like an Italian version of an omelet.

Ingredients:

1 real egg, large

Egg substitute, equivalent of 2 eggs

Chopped ham, about 4 oz. Turkey or chicken breast also works.

black pepper, to taste

salt, to taste

Chopped vegetables, at least 4 oz. Bell pepper, broccoli and asparagus are examples of what will work. Tomato and onion are also good. Use one or more of the aforementioned.

1 clove of garlic, minced

A little butter or olive oil

A tiny splash of skim milk (makes the egg fluffier)

A pinch of dried oregano and/or basil

Combine and mix all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and nuke until the egg is done to scrambled consistency.

Top with shredded Parmesan cheese and chopped Italian parsley. Enjoy -- an especially good breakfast, with whole-grain toast. For those who like the heat, hot sauce may be added during or after cooking.
