This is a great-tasting, crustless alternative to quiche.

Instructions
Step 1
Quarter and seed peppers, then broil them for 5–10 minutes or until lightly charred. Place in a closed brown paper bag, and let cool for 5 minutes. Peel and thinly slice. (If you don’t mind the peel, leave it on and just slice the roasted peppers into thin slices.)
Step 2
Reduce oven heat to 400° F.
Grease a 9-inch round pan. Place broccoli, peppers, and olives in the pan, making sure to arrange them evenly. Beat remaining ingredients together in a small bowl and pour over vegetables.
Step 3
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the center has set. Broil for the last two minutes to brown the top. Cool, slice into wedges, and serve warm or cold garnished with ground cashews (in place of Parmesan cheese).
Step 4
Other ingredient ideas
include basil, pine nuts, and pesto. You can add spinach
to almost any frittata. Be creative.
Step 5
Healthy Tidbit
Broccoli, as a member of the brassica family, supports liver function. It is an important stimulator of the second phase of detoxification that occurs in the liver; therefore, try to include it in your diet often. It is also useful for eye complaints. A serving contains twice as much vitamin C as an orange and almost as much calcium as whole milk (and the calcium is better absorbed). It also contains selenium and vitamins pro-A and E. If you have a thyroid problem, consult a physician before eating broccoli raw.
