Sweet Potato + Garden Veggie Frittata

A flavorful and healthy omelet just in time for summer!

Really, I’m obsessed with frittatas though.  So easy, full of so much flavor, and LOW CALORIE! What more can you ask for? Also this is a bit belated this week, but would make a great Meatless Monday option! Also, sorry for the hiatus, I’ve been in New York stuffing my face with amazing food! But don’t worry there are posts to come on that!!

Frittatas have been a big part of my Fit Foodie diet so I hope you enjoy this one, I have made it multiple times in the last few weeks already! It’s a great balance of protein and vegetables that are packed with nutrients! It’s easier to stick to a diet when you are allowed to eat such delicious things as this! Plus you still can indulge in a little bit of cheese and a little bit of potato without feeling guilty! I think this particular frittata would also be great made in muffin tins for a brunch!

How to make the Frittata:

1. In a large and deep skillet that is oven safe, on medium high heat, cook your shallots and shredded potato in the olive oil for about 7 minutes.

2. Add your garlic, spinach, and zucchini to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes.

3. Meanwhile in a mixing bowl, beat your eggs and milk together and mix in your herbs and goat cheese.

4. Add your egg mixture to the skillet and cook about 10-12 minutes occasionally shaking the pan around to make sure it doesn’t all stick to the bottom.

5. Turn your hi broiler in your oven on, if your pan is oven safe stick it under the broiler for about 3 minutes, watching closely until the top is all the way cooked.

*your skillet must have no plastic/be oven safe to do this otherwise you need to flip it and cook it fully in the skillet*

Let cool and don’t forget that skillet is HOT!

Bon Appétit!
