I try to keep my fridge well-stock with vegetables and in the section for Low-Carb recipes you'll find an assortment of egg casseroles ideas that include veggies like Kale, Broccoli, Swiss Chard, Spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, and even asparagus when it's in season. But this Easy Low-Carb Southwest Egg Casserole is a recipe I came up with many (many!) years ago when the vegetable crisper was empty and I didn't want to go to the store. The recipe uses drained canned tomatoes, canned green chiles, Mexican blend cheese, spices and eggs to create a delicious breakfast casserole that uses ingredients you probably always have on hand. I love this with a generous dollop or sour cream and salsa to continue the southwestern flavors; hope you enjoy!

Egg Crust Vegetarian Breakfast Pizza
 |
| Egg-Crust Vegetarian Breakfast Pizza has a lot of pizza toppings on an eggy crust. |
(This Egg Crust Vegetarian Breakfast Pizza that's also perfect for Meatless Monday is today's pick for the month of Daily Phase One Recipes. You can see all the recipes from the month by clicking Daily Phase One Recipes. Check after the recipe for Phase One Flashbacks from this day in 2012 and 2013.)
When I posted my Egg-Crust Breakfast Pizza with Pepperoni, Olives, Mozzarella, and Tomatoes a few people asked why it was not called a Frittata. (If you're not familiar with Frittatas, they're a type of Italian omelet that's cooked partly on the stove and then finished under the broiler.) These Breakfast Pizzas that I'm having fun experimenting with are made with just two eggs and the egg is about half cooked before the pizza topping ingredients are layered on top. Then the Breakfast Pizza is cooked for a few minutes with a lid on and browned under the broiler so the cheese is melted and golden-brown. There are similarities, but frittatas have much more egg in proportion to other ingredients, while the egg part of the Breakfast Pizza really is more like a "crust" with the other ingredients added on top. This vegetarian version of a Breakfast Pizza was just as delicious as the first one, and I'd enjoy this for a Meatless Monday breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
