Frittatas are one of my favorite things to make, mostly because you really can’t mess it up and once you learn the technique behind making a frittata you can totally throw whatever you have on hand for a quick and easy dinner, lunch, breakfast or my favorite of all brunch!
I like to think of a frittata as glorified scrambled eggs. It is different from a omelet because you do not fold it over into the classic half moon omelet shape and instead of having the egg wrapped around your filling, the filling ingredients are mixed into the frittata. Typically any combination of cheese, meat & veggies make for delicious frittatas. Some of my favorite combinations are:
Jut a few tricks when you are making your master piece frittatas:
Allergy | Egg, Milk |
Step 1 | |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a oven safe skillet or cast iron skillet, over medium hear render down turkey bacon. Add butter, coconut oil, garlic & onions and cook for 5-6 minutes under the onions are softened. | |
Step 2 | |
Add the spinach and let them cook down for a few minutes. Salt & pepper to taste. The seasoning should taste strong but not unbearable. | |
Step 3 | |
In a medium bowl, whisk the separated egg whites until light. In another small bowl beat the egg yolks & milk with the egg substitute. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolks. Add the parsley, thyme & cayenne and mix lightly. | |
Step 4 | |
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and reduce heat to low. Cook on the stove top for 8-10 minutes just until the edges start to firm. | |
Step 5 | |
Evenly top the mixture with the crumbled goat cheese and transfer into the oven for another 15-20 minutes or until the inside is no longer runny. Remove to cool and serve cut in pie shaped wedges. |
YUM! Frittatas are one of my favorite, go-to healthy recipes. Crustless quiche, too. Because basically a combo of eggs, egg whites, and cheese can never really go wrong!
Right??!!! I was so happy when I discovered and became adventurous with the Frittata….can’t get much more delicious and easy than this!
