A Beautifully Simple Frittata Recipe

I love frittatas.

The simplicity and yummy goodness, without the crust of the quiche. See the frittata is basically a naked quiche.

It’s just yummy whipped eggs mixed with the ingredients of your choice. Meats, vegetables and cheeses, one at a time or in delightful combinations.

Another reason I love frittatas is you can eat them anytime of the day. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. It really doesn’t matter.

And the frittata is so simple to make. Whip up a few eggs, pour over your ingredients and bake in the oven at 375 degrees F. until set. It just doesn’t get much easier.

While this frittata recipe won’t work for all my vegan friends, it will make happy the vegetarians, gluten-free, and low-carb eaters of the group. My vegan friends can refer to Chef Chloe’s End of Summer Frittata recipe for a delicious egg-free frittata.

Another awesome thing about the beautifully simple frittata is it’s fast and easy to make, making it a perfect choice for those nights you come home tired and still want a home cooked meal. Plus, you can pack the extras for breakfast or lunch the next day.

And now that eggs aren’t on the evil list anymore, they are a great source of protein. Frittatas can also help you with your BETTER YOU goals by offering and an excellent source of lean protein and fresh veggies. Go light on the cheeses and meats to keep them healthy.

So have fun with your simple frittata and finding the BETTER YOU.
