Open-Faced Vegetable Frittata Breakfast Sandwich
I love this dish! You can swap in as many veggies as you like and customize your sandwich as you see fit! This is a great brunch recipe for a crowd as the frittata can be whipped up in one big batch and then sliced for individual servings. Place on top of whole grain bread for a filling and delicious meal. Whole grains are great for our health, as they contain dietary fiber which reduces risk of heart disease and can improve cholesterol levels. Are you a practitioner?
