A Frittata is similar to an omelette or crustless quiche. The word frittata is Italian and roughly translates to “fried”. The delicious and nutritious breakfast of champions has a base of eggs and milk and almost anything can be added as a filling – from cheese, meat, and/or veggies – even pasta tastes great in one! Eggs have 6 grams of high-quality protein and help sustain mental and physical energy throughout the day. If you have issues with your liver, gallbladder, diabetes, high cholesterol or heart disease however you might want to skip the yolk and substitute extra egg whites only instead and skip the bomba. This is my favourite way to make a frittata and if you love veggies it’s sure to be delicious and a go-to for you as well!
