When we started eating #lchf, we ate a lot of eggs. I mean a tremendous amount of eggs because it was safe. At the beginning, it can be confusing what foods you should eat, which you should stay clear of, and how much of everything you should eat. Much like chicken recipes, eggs can get monotonous if you don’t change it up and step out of the box. Adding low carb vegetables, interesting proteins, and different cheeses can really step up your egg game. That is why this frittata recipe is a real winner. It’s a basic recipe that can become so very versatile. You can absolutely make it your own Be creative!
We have started having frittata in our house at least once a week. It is great for a quick and easy dinner for lunch on the go. This recipe is Wyatt & McKenzie approved. They are the more adventurous foodies in our home and huge fans of eggs! The big boys are picky… We’ll just leave it at that. I am determined to win them over one of these days. Stay tuned.
