Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat stock in a saucepan over medium heat to boiling. Add parsnips and cook 5 to 7 minutes, until al dente. Remove parsnips from stock with a slotted spoon and put in large bowl. Reserve stock; it will be used to cook other frittata ingredients.
- Add cauliflower to heated stock and cook 5 to 7 minutes, until al dente. Remove cauliflower and add to bowl with parsnips.
- Add zucchini to stock and cook about 1 minute, then remove and add to vegetables in bowl.
- Add quinoa to simmering stock, bring to a boil and cook about 5 minutes, or until al dente. Remove the quinoa from the stock and add to vegetables in bowl. (The broth, enriched with flavor and vitamins from the vegetables, can be stored and re-used.)
- Add diced tomato, herbs and Roquefort to the cooked vegetables and quinoa. Mix until the cheese combines completely with the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork until whites and yolks are mixed. Add the eggs to the vegetable mixture and stir gently.
- Rub 1 teaspoon butter on the bottom of a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof fry pan (or coat with nonstick spray). Heat the pan on the stovetop on medium until the butter is frothy, lower the temperature to medium-low and add the frittata mixture. Cook for a few minutes, then finish in the oven until done to your taste. (Leaving them slightly runny makes for a velvety texture.)
- Flip onto a plate by holding the plate upside down on top of the pan and flipping pan and plate together. You can brush the top of the frittata with melted butter and serve with toast.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss sweet potato with 1/2 teaspoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt; spread in an even layer on half of a rimmed baking sheet. Toss beets with 1/2 teaspoon oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt; spread on other half of sheet (so that beets don't discolor potatoes). Roast, stirring halfway through, until tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil; add vinegar. Break each egg into a teacup. Reduce heat so that water is just simmering. Slightly immerse 1 teacup, and gently slide egg into water. Use a spoon to fold edges of white over egg. Repeat with remaining eggs. Simmer until whites are just set but yolks are runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer eggs to a towel using a slotted spoon, and drain.
- Thinly slice beet greens. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add greens, leek, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook until tender and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in quinoa, thyme, and vegetables; press down using a rubber spatula. Cook until quinoa is warm, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide among 4 plates; top each with 1 egg, and season with a pinch of pepper.
