Pasture raised eggs and fresh vegetables are a great mix of nutrients and clean protein that work for any meal, not just breakfast. Simply serve your vegetable frittata with a salad to transform your idea of a breakfast food into the perfect lunch or light dinner.
If you’re unfamiliar with what a vegetable frittata is, or some may call it a Spanish omelet, it is quite similar to quiche without the crust and contains any vegetable you can imagine. My recipe includes potatoes, which help to make it more filling. The lack of crust helps to reduce needless fat and carbs.
Eggs are one of the best sources of protein, inexpensive and the all-around healthy food we should all have more of. They contain the entire amino acid profile, many nutrients such as Omega 3, selenium, vitamin D, folate and phosphorous. The health benefits of eating eggs range from reducing the risk of heart disease, aiding in weight loss, improving eye health and keeping skin, liver and brain healthy. All of these great benefits are packed into this vegetable frittata recipe and have the benefits of the veggies you choose to include!
If you’re worried about any negatives you’ve heard about the cholesterol in eggs, worry no more, as it has been shown that eggs regulate cholesterol in the body, rather than cause a threat to cholesterol levels.
It is important, however, to choose your eggs wisely. Pasture raised eggs are healthiest,or those laid by hens able to move freely, perch, forage and live as hens naturally do, are not only cruelty free but less likely to carry disease and contain more nutrients than their caged counterparts. They are also less likely to have been fed soy and GMO feed, though always do your research.
