For week 2 of our Healthy Eating Challenge, I put together this Deep Dish Breakfast Fritatta. It’s full of veggies, it’s satifying, and it’s easy to put together! All of my favorite things in one meal. It’s also Gluten-Free, Paleo, and Vegetarian. Hubs came home from work for lunch just because I made this…in which case, I might be making it more often!
This dish is great because you can use any number of veggie combinations…which makes it perfect for clean-out-the-fridge-day. Any of these veggies can be adjusted to suit your taste or whatever you have on-hand!
Deep Dish Breakfast Fritatta
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 3 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 red bell peppers, diced
- 3 cups spinach
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, baked and diced
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 10 eggs
- salt and pepper to taste (freshly ground)
Directions:
- In a large skillet (cast iron or non-stick), saute mushrooms in 2 batches in about 1/2 T coconut oil (for each batch). Set aside.
- Add more coconut oil and saute the onions and peppers.
- Add spinach and stir a few times to wilt it.
- Add the mushrooms, sweet potatoes and tomatoes.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until they come together.
- Reduce heat to low and pour eggs over the veggies.
- Cover and let cook until the eggs are just set (mine probably went for 10 or 15 minutes, keep an eye on it).
- Transfer to the oven and finish under a low broiler for 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven. Hubs ate his hot out of the pan. I’m eating mine cold. Right now. As I type this.
*If your eggs have one or two spots that just won’t seem to set, try putting it in a 350 oven for 5-10 minutes. When eggs are set, then finish under the broiler if needed.
*I baked sweet potatoes last night for dinner, so I threw a couple of extras in for the fritatta. Tossed them in the fridge overnight and they were ready to go when I started cooking today. Click HERE for super easy baking instructions.
*If your oven doesn’t have a Low broil setting, check it after one minute.
*I have a thing about browned eggs. They make me gag. And I hate them. And I mostly try really hard not to eat them. This frittata will get a little browned on top, but it actually works and it’s really good. Just don’t make them too brown!
*Sometimes when I make omelets I will whisk some cumin or Tobasco in with the eggs. That would be delicious in this frittata.
