Spinach And Feta Frittata
A Frittata is one of my favorite brunch items to make at home. It’s healthy, easy and versatile. To serve, top individual slices with mircro greens and sliced avocado, or a dollop of pesto. This dish is the perfect main course for your Mother’s Day Brunch. For a weeknight dinner - I like to serve a frittata with a simple green salad.
Ingredients
6 or 8 eggs (for a 10 or 12 inch cast iron skillet)
6 scallions, chopped
1 cup chopped spinach or more (2 cups broccoli also works well here)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (we like violife vegan feta)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, or any milk or cream
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, more for sprinkling
Dash of smoked paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Whisk the eggs, almond milk, garlic, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Heat some olive oil in a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions, spinach, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is tender but still bright green, 1-2 minutes. (6 minutes for broccoli)
Stir in the smoked paprika, then add the egg mixture and gently shake the pan to distribute.
Sprinkle with the feta and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are set. Season to taste and serve micro greens, sliced avocado or pesto.
Refreshing Starters
Add a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals to your brunch spread and a sweet and delicious way to start the day. Some of our favorites are Chia Pudding, Fruit Salad, a delicious Smoothie Bowl topped with fresh fruit, granola, and coconut flakes, Avocado Toast or a simple but satisfying Smoothie. These recipes are all healthy and super easy to make.
Comfort Foods
Mother's Day brunch is all about the the comfort foods! We're talking about pancakes, waffles, crepes and french toast - they are comforting fan favorites, drizzled with a touch of sweetness. Try our super healthy Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes, or Holiday French Toast topped with a an overload of fresh berries and drizzled with maple syrup on top.
Spring Salads
It’s always nice to have a refreshing side salad as a brunch option, plus it will add some color and life to the table and balance the menu. Some of our favorites are Jayne’s Shakti Salad, our Quinoa Taboulleh and Super Foods Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette, or light and fresh Spring Pesto Pasta Salad - Each one is light, refreshing, colorful, and extremely good for you.
Baked Goods and Sweet Treats
Baking is an expression of love and appreciation! Whether you are showing that to your mom on Mother’s Day in the form of Apple Pecan Coffee Cake, Good Clean Banana Bread with chocolate chips, our favorite Brownies, or healthy Zucchini Muffins.........freshly baked goods is where it’s at!
