The frittata is one of my favorite things to throw together because, really, anything you need to use up can go into a frittata. Last week, I had a variety of tomatoes, zucchini, and some really lovely sweet potato greens on hand, so I made this simple zucchini frittata. Use this recipe as a guide to use up whatever you happen to have in your refrigerator – for example, spinach or kale would be easy substitutes for the sweet potato greens.
This Zucchini Frittata is Healthy!
A while back, I used to shy away from frittatas because I thought they required lots of butter and cream. (I used to be entirely non-dairy). While I do eat small amounts of high quality cheese pretty often these days, I still don’t do milk. Turns out, you need neither cream nor butter to make a delicious frittata. I use olive oil here, and since almond milk is what I keep on hand, almond milk is what goes into my frittata. It works perfectly to make the eggs nice and fluffy.
As I said before, I loaded this recipe with veggies, which makes for a flavor and nutrient-packed meal. I highly encourage you to do the same, though you might not be able to find sweet potato greens. If you do see them at your local farmers market – grab them. They’re so soft and delicious – like spinach but with a milder flavor.
So pile in the veggies and serve this for brunch, or better yet – breakfast for dinner!
