Breakfast for Dinner Anyone?
Hello Fitness and Feta readers! I’m Kristen from Be Fit With Kristen. I’m here as a guest to share one of my all time favorite frittata recipes. Frittatas are an excellent dinner choice when you need to whip something up quick after a long day of work.
Before I go any further, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I’m passionate about healthy living, making smart choices and taking life one day at a time. I am a personal trainer and fitness instructor by day and blogger by night. My mission is to inspire you to be fit, eat healthy, and love life. I believe that fitness is not about a look, it’s about a feeling. Don’t you agree?
Now back to the recipe…
It’s no secret that I love breakfast for dinner. I have quite a few egg recipes in my rotation. A girl needs some variety…
This is a light dish with just enough protein to keep you satisfied for the evening. Throw in a few veggies, add a slice of whole wheat toast or perhaps some fruit salad and BAM (just couldn’t resist that one) you’ve got yourself a healthy, low-calorie meal in minutes.
I used tomato, spinach, and feta in this recipe. You can use just about any vegetable you have on hand. That’s what makes this recipe so great. It is extremely versatile, just about everything is fair game. So experiment a little; use your best judgment.
Here are a few other things to consider:
- If you use onions or other chopped veggies, sauté them for a few minutes first. Veggies take longer to cook than eggs.
- Frittatas make great leftovers. I like them cold. I also like a crust-less quiche cold.
- If eggs don’t do it for ya then perhaps some of the recipes in my Healthy Dinner Series will. PS: There’s one in there posted by Athena so check it out…
