We cooked up Giada de Laurentiis’ roast veggies for Thanksgiving.  Delicious and flavorful, the family munched on them for two days before it was time for a fresh taste.  Enter the remix.

Many dishes, particularly those featuring fresh veggies, can be reclaimed as new dishes.  Our vegetables made a delicious set of omelettes packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other phytonutrients.  Get creative in the kitchen; it is fun and tasty to play with your food.

Veggie omelettes or frittatas are a great way to freshen up leftovers.  Ingredients:

  • 5 eggs (health twist: 1 whole, 4 egg whites)
  • brie (about 8 slices)
  • leftover veggies, warmed
  • olive oil, s+p

In medium-hot skillet, pour beaten eggs over oil and cook until edges peel away from pan. Pour about 1 cup of veggies over half the pan.  Top with brie or your choice of cheese.  Fold other side of omelette over filling and cook until cheese melts, about 3 minutes.   Sprinkle with salt and pepper and enjoy!

Beyond breakfast, these vegetables could have been re-roasted and pureed into pasta sauce; tossed into a soup; or layered into lasagna.  Stay tuned for future remix suggestions and share your own innovations in the comments section.
