Last month we shared the fabulous flavor combination of EB eggs and sweet potato with Healthy Spiralized Sweet Potato Patties.
This month we give you a nutritious, loaded with veggies and easy to make Spinach and Mushroom Frittata.
According to the Wikipedia a frittata, very similar to quiche and strata, is “an egg-based Italian dish enriched with additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses, vegetables or pasta and such ingredients are combined with the beaten egg mixture while the eggs are still raw rather than being laid over the egg mixture before it is folded, as in a conventional omelette. Frittatas are cooked slowly. Most often, they are cooked on the stovetop on low heat until the eggs are set, then run under the broiler, but they can also be baked. Ingredients are fully mixed with the eggs before cooking starts.”
Frittatas are healthy, delicious and very versatile. Plus when made with EB eggs, you’re getting superior nutrition. EB Eggs are only 60 calories and 25% less saturated when compared to ordinary eggs.
Be creative with the ingredients. Combine a variety of herbs, cheeses, and vegetables and it’s sure to become a regular on your menu.
Experiment with whatever ingredients you have on hand and, enjoy your EB egg creation for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner.
