This is a super tasty way to get vegetables into the morning meal and you can change it up to suit your taste. Try substituting broccoli or asparagus for the spinach; add sausage or veggie sausage; use warm whole wheat tortillas or naan in place of the pitas.

Breakfast Polenta Casserole

This recipe comes to us courtesy of the Renegade Lunch Lady Chef Ann Cooper and her book Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed our Children. This recipe can be done on the same day if you have time, but if you know you’re going to be pressed for time preparing some of it the night before is helpful.

Turkey and Roasted Vegetable Quiche

Egg whites added to whole eggs gives this dish a light texture and helps to reduce the fat and cholesterol, while roasted veggies add lots of flavor as well as vitamins. If fresh asparagus is difficult to come by, substitute another fresh green like broccoli or spinach.

Ham, Mushroom and Fontina Frittata

Spanish-Style Tortilla

They're not as fluffy as an omelet, nor as dense as a frittata, and they're nothing like the tortillas you'll find this side of the Atlantic. But these potato and egg cakes are scrumptious, and you can add any fillings or flavors your heart desires. Try onions, garbanzo beans, peppers, mushrooms, plantains, herbs or garlic. No wonder Spain is in love with them!
