Egg-Centric

Miniature vegetables, picked last night for fear of frost, made a perfect base for this baked egg and walnut bake.  The recipe was based on a recipe from California Walnut Board.

The miniature vegetables were from Mockingbird Hill Farms.   

I made Zucchini Apple Pancakes to accompany the egg dish.  This recipe was inspired by Clean Eating Magazine.
