How To Make Frittata

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

cooked meat

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: beans

Tofu provides protein while being plant-based.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

herbs

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: frozen herbs

Spinach adds nutrients and can be more economical.

Chop all vegetables including onion, asparagus, red pepper, and parsley.

Heat a pan between medium and high heat.

Add 1 tablespoon to 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan.

Add Panetta to the pan and cook until browned, about a few minutes.

Add sliced onion to the pan with the Panetta and cook until softened, about 7-8 minutes.

Add chopped vegetables (red pepper, asparagus, parsley) to the pan and season with salt and pepper.

Cook the vegetables for about 10 minutes until they are cooked down but still have integrity.

Add a handful of spinach to the pan and cook until about 3/4 cooked through.

In a bowl, combine the eggs with the grated cheeses (Parmesan and Romano) and mix well.

Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the cooked vegetables in the pan, ensuring it covers everything.

Let the mixture set for about 5 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Sprinkle fresh mozzarella and parsley on top of the egg mixture.

Bake in the oven for 12 minutes at 400°F.

Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should have some resistance.

Let the frittata sit for at least 20-30 minutes before serving.
