Easy Spinach Frittata with Tomato and Onion

Easy Spinach Frittata in under 25 minutes

Introducing easy spinach frittata with tomato and onion. This egg-based dish is similar to a Spanish tortilla or omelet. Frittatas are classically prepared in a cast iron skillet or frying pan to allow the eggs to finish cooking in the oven. Made in under 25 minutes, frittatas are perfect for a quick breakfast or easy light lunch.

Can I swap other vegetables for spinach?

Frittatas are extremely versatile. You can use any vegetable and herb combinations you like. We love red and yellow peppers, asparagus and leeks, or kale and mushrooms! If you’re at the end of the week, you can add older produce or prepped veggies from previous meals. If you wish to make this recipe lactose-free, simply eliminate the cheese or add a non-dairy cheese. We like the non-dairy ricotta from kite hill.

Nutrition

This meal is complete with over 20 grams of protein from whole eggs, fiber from added veggies and greens, and healthy Omega 3’s from pasture raised egg yolks. By starting off the day with a protein rich meal, you’ll set yourself up for balanced blood sugar and will fight of cravings throughout the rest of the day.

Smart Tip:

 

To achieve a crepe like texture, we used a shallow cast iron skillet. If you want a fluffy frittata, double the recipe and use a 1-2 inch skillet.
