Festive Frittata

Posted on May 23, 2018 in Breakfast, Eggs

How do you change your lifestyle and what goals are you seeking for yourself? Do you think about change after a health crisis or do you want change for a healthier longevity? When we choose to make healthy changes, we want to measure progress and NOT focus on perfection. Change begins with one personal choice at a time. Creating an individual plan guarantees a path to success. Begin with STEP-ONE each day—breaking the morning fast (hence break-fast). Remember, our bodies fasted all night while we slept and demand recharging with a protein-rich meal. STEP-ONE today is the “Festive Frittata”!

Ingredients: (serves 2)

  • 8 organic egg whites
  • 2 Tbsp. non-fat, organic cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup organic, baby spinach leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup organic onion of choice, chopped
  • 4 pre-cooked chicken sausages, drained of any oil, chopped

Spray a 5” x 7” glass dish with spray oil, set aside.

In bowl, thoroughly mix egg whites; then add cottage cheese, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, spinach, onion and sausages.

Pour combined ingredients from bowl into glass dish.

Bake in pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes; may bake a day ahead and reheat in 350 degree oven for approx. 20 minutes.
