Mediterranean Frittata

Frittatas are an unsung hero in the kitchen. Frittatas make for eggcelent leftovers and are the perfect end of week meal prep to use up leftover veggies in the fridge.

Serve with toast, avocado and/or simple salad. Not just for breakfast, frittatas are a quick and nutrient dense lunch or dinner.

This basic frittata recipe is very versatile and you can swap in any substitution. Use up whatever veggies you have – spinach, broccoli, leftover roasted vegetables, green onions and fresh herbs like cilantro and basil. Frittatas with cheese is a must – goats cheese, sharp cheddar, a firm cheese like Parmesan or Manchego or dairy free “cheese”.
