- Preheat grill pan over medium heat.
- Arrange vegetables on grill pan. Grill until grill marks appear. Turn over an repeat until tender. Mushrooms may take longer to get a dark brown caramelized appearance. Do not over cook. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

- Sprinkle with cheeses and bacon.
- Mix together eggs, half and half and Dijon mustard until well blended. Pour over veggie & cheese mixture.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until center does not jiggle. The frittata should puff up as it bakes. *Use a knife to check the center for doneness. This may not work very well because the cheese will come up on the knife edge but the center should be firm.
- Slice and enjoy! Serve with a green salad.
