Although I’m usually a stickler for habit in the mornings, on the weekends I like to break out of my breakfast rut.  When my husband is in charge of breakfast, that means waffles or if I’m really lucky, doughnuts from a local shop.  If I’m in charge of breakfast, it’s frittata time.

I love making frittatas.  They the perfect way to use whatever ingredients you have on hand, and they are easy to make and perfectly hearty.  Not so much to weigh you down, but filling enough to get me through the rest of the morning with enough energy to handle my family of five.

Frittatas, which are just a fancy name to get us out of having enough skills to flip an omelette, are the perfect base for bold flavors like RO*TEL.  RO*TEL has enough zest to kick up every breakfast, lunch, dinner and, snack!  It’s time to banish the bland and bring the bold to breakfast with this Southwest Veggie Frittata recipe!

Preheat the broiler to low.  Prep all your ingredients, so they are ready to go!  You’ll want to finely chop on red pepper, green pepper, jalapeno and onion.  Slice 6 ounces of mushrooms.  Drain the black beans and open up your RO*TEL.  In a medium pitcher, whisk the eggs with the milk and salt and pepper to taste.

Bring a large cast iron skillet to medium high heat.  Add in olive oil.  Toss in the onions and peppers, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add in the mushrooms and continue cooking and stirring until the mushrooms have released their moisture and they begin to brown.
