Make this quick, delicious, veggie-packed frittata on a holiday morning or prepare it ahead to heat and eat with your family in between stockings and presents! It’s even great to eat as a cold dish.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my friends that celebrate Christmas, when do you open gifts? Growing up we did all family gifts on Christmas Eve. We would go to church, come home to eat dinner, then all file into the living room to open gifts one by one. I was always the “Christmas elf” in charge of handing out gifts and took my job at equal distribution quite seriously. On Christmas morning, we’d rush to see what Santa brought (he never wrapped presents at my house) and dive into stockings, too- always my favorite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, as we combined to family traditions into our own as a married couple, we do things a little differently. Christmas Eve we do church, on the early side if we can, then come home to either eat seafood gumbo I made earlier in the day or a selection of heavy appetizers. We put out milk and cookies, perhaps check in to see where Santa is on the news tracker, read The Night Before Christmas, and put the kids to bed. Christmas morning we all first rush to see what Santa brought (he still doesn’t wrap presents), then unwrap family gifts, still one by one, though I have passed my Christmas elf duties down to the next generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love how this stretches out Christmas morning. Usually getting coffee and tea come first and are quick and easy to accomplish, but I never want to miss a moment of the Christmas morning joy by spending time in the kitchen cooking breakfast. We’ve done cinnamon rolls and make-ahead breakfast casseroles in the past, that are all quite delicious, but it you are like me and craving a slightly healthier take on a Christmas morning breakfast after an indulgent December overall, then I think you will love this vegetarian holiday frittata!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can it ahead of time, 1-2 days before, then store it in the fridge to either serve cold or to reheat on Christmas morning. It’s unique with the hearty vegetables it includes and is bursting with flavor thanks to the sundried tomatoes and oregano. Add a simply dressed baby arugula salad on the side, or maybe some fruit, or heck, a cinnamon roll and get back to the squeals and shrieks of Christmas morning joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
