Eggs. It’s what we have for breakfast, lunch and dinner lots at our house.
You can’t beat how easy they are to make and they are super simple to customize with any leftover vegetables and protein you have in your fridge.
This keto frittata is loaded with protein and spring vegetables. We’ve got asparagus, broccoli, red bell peppers and they all go so well with goat cheese and cheddar.
Keto frittata is great because you can make this ahead the night before when you have overnight guests for Mother’s Day, Easter or any weekend brunch.
HOW TO MAKE KETO FRITTATA:
- Start off by heating some oil or butter in your cast iron skillet or oven safe frying pan over medium high heat.
- Add the onion, asparagus, broccoli, bell peppers and ham. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with heavy cream and season with salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Stir half of the cheddar cheese.
- Spread the asparagus into an even layer. Pour egg mixture into the skillet over the asparagus and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese. Transfer the frittata into the oven until just set.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm.
WHAT ELSE CAN I ADD TO THIS LOW CARB FRITTATA?
The great thing about frittatas is that they are perfect for using up leftover vegetables and protein from your fridge. Add some zucchini, kale or spinach to keep this frittata low carb.
Instead of ham, you can use prosciutto, sausage, cooked chicken or turkey instead.
Not a fan of goat cheese? Leave it out or use feta instead.
CAN I MAKE THIS EASY FRITTATA AHEAD OF TIME?
Yes, frittatas are a delicious freezer-friendly meal. You can cut into wedges and wrap each individual piece in the freezer and reheat when ready to serve.
