Healthy frittata “Pizza”! …loved by kids too.
My go-to lunch for myself and my young daughter. We call it “pizza” but it’s really a frittata :)
It’s super quick, you can put almost anything in it (so it’s not too boring to have it often, which I actually like to do as it’s so nutritious).
Ingredients:
(Feeds 1 adult & 1 small child. Add 2 eggs per extra adult, or 1 egg per extra child)
3 pasture raised organic eggs
1 - 1.5 cups of cooked veggies.
Cheese to sprinkle on top or stir through before cooking if desired (feta, mozarella, or parmesan are all good options!)
Herbs of choice, salt and pepper. Fresh basil is a winner!
Coconut oil or grassfed butter for cooking with.
Method:
Pan fry veg in large fry pan and set aside, still in pan
Whisk 3 eggs together in large bowl, add herbs.
Spoon the veg into the whisked eggs and stir.
Pour mixture back into fly pan, make sure it’s spread out evenly like a pizza.
Sprinkle cheese on top evenly.
Cover the fry pan if you have a lid (it cooks faster this way), cook for 10-15 mins.
If you are serving more than 3 people, better to put it in a baking tray and bake for 20-25 mins as it will be bigger and thicker.
Food-as-medicine reasons I love pizza-frittatas:
Pasture raised organic eggs are super rich in choline and EPA / DHA fats (more so than conventionally produced eggs), which support neurotransmitter activity. This is important for the gut brain axis - especially in little developing brains or tired mums!
I can use almost any fresh herbs and it always tastes great, as well as helping to develop my daughters palate (growing up with these meals, she will now eat ANYTHING).
Fresh herbs and cooked veg provide detoxification benefits and support healthy bowel motions.
We can pretty much have this 4 times a week with variations in veggies, and even include some leftover dinner meats.
No inflammatory grains or flour based products, aka no ‘fluffy white shit’ that does your gut health zero favours!
EASY EASY EASY PEASY. This is quick, tasty, can be eaten warm or cold, and supports a strong gut.
Add a little side salad and it can be a beautiful lunch that looks like restaurant food!
