Last weekend Ryan’s good friend Ben was in town. We went out to eat a lot during his visit, so by the time Sunday morning rolled around, we were in the mood to eat breakfast at home. I ended up preparing a fiesta frittata that we all greatly enjoyed. It’s packed with vegetables, delicious and quite filling!
A few weeks ago, I agreed to try out a sample of Pete & Gerry’s organic eggs through a campaign with BlogHer and put them to use in this frittata.
The family farms that supply the eggs sold by the Pete & Gerry’s are all Certified Humane® meaning the hens that produce the eggs will always have ample space and shelter in clean, well-ventilated barns, gentle handling (to limit stress), freedom to live like hens do naturally, nutritious high-quality feed free of antibiotics or hormones and continuous access to fresh water.
Without a doubt the eggs elevated the flavor and made the frittata taste incredibly fresh. And we all felt good about eating eggs that are certified organic and come from cage-free hens.
To amp up the flavor of the frittata even more, I added some of my favorite flavorful fresh veggies and incorporated black beans and whole grain rice into the dish to make it taste a little heartier since it was supposed to feed me and two hungry guys!

I love an avocado omelette!
Over easy eggs are my absolute favorite!
Thanks for hosting this incredible giveaway! I enjoy eggs over medium. I am extremely passionate about supporting small, family farms no matter what the food – eggs, milk, produce, etc!! I think it is great that these smaller, family farms still focus on the importance of providing a clean, safe and natural environment to their hens. We are what we eat, and I think the quality of food we eat plays such a huge role in how we feel and behave. I think all of this added, synthetic and fake business has a huge role in how often we get sick and visit the hospital. Thanks for featuring such an incredible product.
I love eating eggs sunny side up with an english muffin for dippin’!
This sounds delicious! I would have never thought to add black beans and rice to this but it sounds delicious and would definitely make it more filling!
I like to use eggs as an easy protein boost and a way to shake up leftovers. Put an egg on it!
I love and egg on toast with avocado!
I’ll bet this smelled incredible as it was cooking! Rice is a great addition — I’ll have to try it to help keep me full for a little longer in the mornings 🙂
dippy eggs and toast are the best!
I love my eggs scrambled or over hard (witb plenty of fresh ground pepper added) with a side of bacon. Yum!
My favorite way to make eggs are scrambled with salsa and avocado.
I eat 2 eggs in butter with chicken sausage and green tea almost every morning. Love organic eggs and would love to win!
First, the frittata looks delicious – I love the Southwestern flavors! Second, my absolute favorite way to enjoy eggs is fried up with a slightly runny yolk and paired with a slice of seared ham or turkey on one of my dad’s egg sandwiches (for some reason, his always turn out best 😉 ). Perfection!
Scrambled egg sandwiches are definitely the best!
I love scrambled eggs!
ummmm this meal looks awesome and I think I will make it this weekend. When it comes to eggs I think hard boiled eggs are my favorite!
I enjoy egg salad sandwiches the most.
Fried eggs over quinoa! I love the crispy edges of the eggs and the runny yolks make a delicious sauce for the quinoa to soak up.

I love scrambling it with veggies and cheese and putting it in a tortilla. I then place it on my panini maker to make the tortilla a little crispy!
My favorite egg treat is a hashbrown crust quiche (Paula Deen’s recipe). It is really delicious! I always make it around this time of year. It also re-heats really nicely in the toaster oven.
i found a really good egg bake recipe..with tomatoes, spinach and cottage cheese
I eat eggs almost every morning as they are a great source of protein! My favorite way to eat them is actually from your egg white and oatmeal pancake recipe! I like to change up the flavors and add fresh apples or a little bit of pumpkin in the fall. Lately I’ve started being more conscious of eating local/organic and what blew me away was how different eggs that have been raised on a local farm, free range can actually taste. I love supporting local famers as they are the source for great nutrition in our lives. And when it comes to raising their chickens, it is incredibly important to the livelihood of the animal to be raised in a clean, comfortable setting (plus it makes for a tasty breakfast)!
I love scrambling eggs or making an egg sandwich! I have also supported local farmer’s at my farmer’s market since college!
Poached eggs over rye toast is my favorite! Eggs were all I could eat when I was pregnant.
My favorite has always been poached eggs something my mom started making for us as little kids!
I actually love this brand of eggs! And I love, love poached eggs on toast!
I love using two eggs and a banana to make 2 ingredient pancakes!
YUM! I’m making that asap. I love eggs over medium in huevos rancheros.
My favorite way to eat eggs is over easy with hot sauce on an English muffin!
My favorite eggs are breakfast sandwiches – any time of the day! We have them for supper a lot… English muffin, egg, cheese, and sometimes a slice of ham!
My favorite way to enjoy eggs is a veggie scramble with a side of wheat toast!

I tweeted!

I love my eggs sunny side up and a side of whole wheat toast!
My favorite way to eat eggs is scrambled with cheese in between wheat toast 🙂 I also always try to buy cage free as this brings the most nutrients to our body because the hens eat greens instead of corn.
I love egg white omelets!
