“I love that frittatas are quicker to make than omelets and can easily serve a group of people in less time than it would take to prepare eggs individually to order. Be sure to use a skillet that is ovenproof so that it can go directly from stove top to oven without the need to dirty an extra dish. Feel free to enjoy this filling and protein-rich meal at any time of the day.”
Caramelized Onion & Red Bell Pepper Frittata
Yield 4 - 6
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 8 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 ounces chèvre (soft goat cheese)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Melt the butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until tender and golden, 8 to ?0 minutes. Add the bell pepper and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook for another minute, until just wilted.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl, add the salt, and beat well with a fork. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and use the fork to press the vegetables down into the egg mixture so that the eggs cover the veggies completely. Crumble the chèvre over the top, then place the pan in the oven and bake until the top is set and lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm.
“DON’T DITCH THE YOLKS! Though egg yolks have been vilified over the years, recent research shows that consuming whole eggs does not increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, and those who ate more eggs actually had a reduced risk of stroke. Cholesterol is essential to the human body, which is why our liver produces it if we don’t get enough from dietary sources. By eating cholesterol, the body actually has to produce less. Almost all of the nutrients in eggs are contained in the yolk, including B vitamins and choline, which are essential for healthy brain function, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are thought to promote eye health. So, by eating the whole egg, you’ll enjoy more nutritional bang for your buck and feel satisfied long after your meal.”
