TOMATO BASIL FRITTATA

A 5-ingredient healthy breakfast packed with eggs, greens and tomato!

This has been my breakfast all week long, and I am loving it!

Fresh tomato on top of greens and eggs makes breakfast fast, flavorful and incredibly healthy. And there’s enough protein and healthy fats to keep you full and energized all morning.

Besides the flavor (we’ll discuss that in just a moment), my favorite thing about this frittata is the fact that it’s a frittata. Um, what?

Let me explain.

Frittata = 15 minute meal with enough leftovers to fuel three or four mornings for one person. Anytime I can grab a quick leftover from the fridge for breakfast, I’m happy and 10 times more likely to eat something really healthy in the morning.

Frittatas are perfect because you just cook the vegetables for a minute, add in the eggs and bake the whole thing for about 10 minutes. It’s quick, easy and cuts down on dirty dishes, which is a serious plus in a house like mine where dishes seem to always pile up!

This frittata is packed with healthy greens, flavored with beautiful basil and topped with fresh tomatoes.

The fresh, juicy tomatoes on top keep this frittata full of life. When you take a bite, tomato juices will release from the slices, and the flavor of basil will hit your taste buds. The combination is classic for a reason!

I snagged fresh tomatoes from my local farmer’s market last weekend, and they make this egg dish really shine. If you can find fresh, local tomatoes to use I highly recommend it! In fact, you could easily pick up all these ingredients from your farmer’s market and make a frittata for brunch when you get home.

Top it off with sliced avocado for a complete and satisfying meal.

Hakuna frittata, my friends.
