Irresistible Frittata

Sharing recipes always has a way of becoming interactive, with people sharing views, offering suggestions or even asking for more info.

Today's pick is an all-in-one Frittata - another healthy breakfast option!


A Frittata is a type of Italian omelette (looks like a pizza) that often features meats, cheeses and veggies, making it a great way to get all your breakfast nutrients in one simple dish.


Try the one featured below and let me know what you think.

The All-In-One-Frittata (serves 4)
•1 cup egg whites
•3 whole eggs
•pinch salt & pepper
•2 cups spinach
•1/4 cup broccoli florets (cut small)
•1/4 cup zucchini
•1/4 cup green onions
•1/4 cup green and red peppers
•1/4 cup mushrooms
•1/2 cup cheese (feta/havarti/cheddar)
•1/2 cup any low fat deli meat (ham/turkey sausage)
•1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
•cooking spray

Turn oven on to broil.
Whisk egg whites, eggs, salt and pepper. Heat non stick frying pan (with heat resistant handle) on stove and lightly spray oil. Add onions, peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli, pumpkin seeds and spinach. Saute 1-2 mins. until tender (but not too soft). Evenly pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Cook for a couple of minutes until the top of the mixture begins to bubble. Evenly spread the cheese and deli meat/sausage on top of the frittata. Place pan in oven until egg is cooked (approx. 2-5 mins). Remove from oven and serve with multigrain toast.
