10 Low Carb Breakfast Ideas
Breakfast Idea #5: Spinach and Cheese Frittata
While frittatas are fair game for any veggie scraps and cheese nubs hiding in the fridge, I’d argue that few combinations are better than spinach and feta. The wilted greens are mixed with fresh bell peppers and creamy, briny feta for just the right balance of fresh and rich flavor.
A frittata is very easy to make. Do not let the fancy name scare you. Simply, throw in olive oil and sauté onions, spinach, and bell peppers for about 2–3 minutes. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Cook, undisturbed, until the eggs at the edges of the pan begin to set, for about 2 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the eggs are completely set, 8–10 minutes. To check, cut a small slit in the center of the frittata. If raw eggs run into the cut, bake for another few minutes; if the eggs are set, pull the frittata from the oven. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, top with feta.
