Spinach & Red Pepper Frittatas

I'm currently on my second week of the Whole30. I wanted to do a reset after the holidays, but was traveling in January and then ended up getting the stomach flu (and the hubs and kids too...ugh). So, I started February 6th. So far it's going well! I'm not having my kids or husband do it with me, except for dinners, because I'm not making 2 separate dinners! In an effort to not spend hours in the kitchen everyday prepping food for myself, I decided I would have the same breakfast every day during the week, do something different on the weekends, and then just have either leftovers or mason jar salads for lunches. This way, except for dinner, I wouldn't really have to turn on the stove or oven during the day! It worked out well the first week, and hopefully I can keep it up.

I thought I would share part of my weekday breakfast, since it has become my favorite meal of the day. Having these things prepped and ready to go for the whole week has been a HUGE help. These are completely Whole30 compliant (no grains, no legumes, no dairy, no added sugar) but if you aren't on the whole30 you can switch out ingredients for whatever you like!

Spinach & Red Pepper Frittatas
(Makes 12)

What you need:



  • 10 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 Cups baby spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 Cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 Cup green onion, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • Cooking spray



Directions:

- Preheat oven to 350

- Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside

- Add the salt and pepper to the beaten eggs and set aside

- Divide spinach evenly among the muffin cups



- Add the red pepper and green onions



- Carefully add the beaten eggs, leaving a little room at the top




- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs have set



- Allow to cool completely, and store in an airtight container in the fridge



- Microwave for 1-2 minutes when ready to eat







This is my favorite vegetable combination, but you can of course change it up to your tastes! Broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, kale and meats like bacon & ham would be great too! And of course, cheese if you aren't dairy free! Enjoy!
