today I woke up and decided to make a delicious and nutritious veggie frittata. What is a frittata, you might ask. It's basically an egg pie. You start by adding a tad bit olive oil to lubricate a nonstick oven pan. Whisk 8 eggs until yolks and whites are combined. Add 1 cup of brocolli florets and diced onion. Save a few slices of onion for the top of your frittata. Mix well. Add 1/8 cup diced avocado, salt, onion powder and pepper, being careful not to mash the avocado pieces. Pour into your pan. Top with onion slices and scallions. Bake for around 10-20 mins. Really it depends on your oven. Check after 10 minutes and every couple of minutes until eggs are just firm throughout, but kind of loose in the very center. Add cheddar cheese on top with fresh thyme. Let cheese melt. Do not overcook your precious frittata. Top with your favorite condiments and you're all there. Serve warm.
For my recipe, I used:
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup densely packed spinach
8 eggs
1/4 onion
2 tablespoons cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon scallions
fresh thyme
salt , onion powder, and pepper to taste.
Keep in mind that frittatas are made with whatever left over veggies or ground meat, or sausage you have on hand. After you try this recipe, feel free to mix it up with whatever veggies you like. Try adding kale, potatoes, ham, breakfast sausage, etc.
Happy and Healthy living folks!
