Easy Cheesy Frittata

I was going to make a meal with polenta, but then realized that we didn’t have cornmeal when I went to make dinner.  I found this recipe (http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/easy-cheesy-frittata-95167.aspx) and thought that it would be great to use up our eggs before we left for vacation.  I didn’t have 1 cup of mozzarella, so I used Mexican cheese – the only shredded cheese on hand.  Since I was using the Mexican cheese, I didn’t want to use basil, so that just led to changing the whole meal! 

I subbed a can diced tomatoes with green chiles for the tomato and did not use water with the eggs (because of the juice from the tomatoes).  We do have vegetarian bacon, but I decided to “Mexi” it up and use 1.5 Morningstar Farms Black Bean burgers (I could have used two).  It turned out great!  None of the Mexican flavors overpowered the frittata (or quiche, which is what it looks like) and it has a little bit of a kick.  I served with pancakes (made from the Fiber One mix, not homemade).  I like this recipe because it easy to play around with and try your own thing!
