2 tsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup diced red peppers
1/2 cup diced green peppers
1/2 cup chopped zuchini
1/2 cup chopped broccoli

Salt, to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Recipe Instructions:

Heat the oil in a large , nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Add the peppers, zucchini, and broccoli and saute for 4 minutes.

Combine the eggs, water, dried seasonings, pepper, and salt. Pour eggs over the vegetables and cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes until eggs look almost set on the bottom.

In a circle, top the eggs with the tomatos. Sprinkle with cheese. Set the oven to broil. Place the skillet in the oven and broil 7 inches from the heat until eggs are set on top and cheese is lightly browned. Watch carefully.

Remove the eggs from the oven and cut into wedges to serve.

“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.”

~ Pearl Buck (1892-1973) American Nobel Prize winning author.
