Pea and Spinach Frittata image

I love breakfast. I start thinking about it as soon as I'm finished with desert - I know I'm crazy. I'm willing to sacrifice hours of sleep to whip up something delectable to start off my day. Luckily - this recipe doesn't require that. Just 10 minutes of your time and a handful of ingredients which you should keep onhand anyways. The result? A healthy breakast that is a definite leap up from a bowl of cereal or the plain-jane bagel.

1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup water

1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons romano cheese or 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Coat large skillet with cooking spray. Combine onion and water in skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cover. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is tender.
