Veggie Egg Frittata


Little Man Update: Trey turns 6 weeks on Wed! Here he is at about 4 weeks loving bath time. This weekend he debuted his roll over and small smile to us...the first of many :)


Now for the recipe: Tired of your same ol' boring sunny side up or scrambled eggs?! In about the same time it take for you to whip up those healthy creations why not spice it up a bit this week and try an Egg Fritata!


Packed with healthy colorful veggies and protein packed eggs!


Veggie Egg Fritata

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil use whatever veggies you have on hand:

6 small red potatoes sliced

1 cup torn fresh spinach or kale 2 tablespoons

sliced green onions

bell peppers, mushrooms, brocolli....etc

1 teaspoon crushed garlic

sea salt and pepper to taste

6 eggs (can use the ratio of 2 egg whites to replace one egg if you desire to cut down on the whole eggs but remember if you are using omega 3 eggs the yolk is where you find the healthy fats) 1/3 cup skim milk (I use Robert's Diary because it is hormone free)

1/2 cup shredded2% cheddar cheese or mozerrella

Instructions: Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place potatoes in the skillet, cover, and cook about 10 minutes, until tender but firm. Mix in spinach, green onions, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes, until spinach is wilted. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Pour into the skillet over the vegetables. Sprinkle with cheese. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 7-10ish minutes, or until eggs are firm.


Top with sliced avocado
