About a month ago my mom hosted a brunch and she made a breakfast Frittata that wowed me. It even passed on the nutritious part. My mom used tons of veggies and when I asked her if there was milk, butter or cheese, she said no and I was shocked. There was so much flavor and it came from healthy ingredients.

My mom quickly told me the ingredients without having to look at her recipe. It was easy to remember and I couldn’t wait to make it!  I love using recipes that involve minimal ingredients and I was excited to share it with you guys.

SO last week I whipped up her frittata, but I made a few small changes due to limited ingredients in my fridge (I secretly had to make this recipe my own!)

My Mom’s 4-ingredient Veggie Frittata

INGREDIENTS:

9 Eggs + 1/4 cup egg whites (or 10 eggs)

1/2 bag of fresh Spinach (chopped)

7-8 button mushrooms (chopped)

1 small red bell pepper (diced)

DIRECTIONS:

In a medium size mixing bowl, mix eggs thoroughly. Chop all the veggies. Spray a 13X9 baking dish and add in the chopped veggies.

Pour the egg mixture over the veggies and use a spoon to make sure all the veggies are evenly covered. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-22 minutes or until eggs are cooked through.

Cut into giant squares, sprinkle with salt & pepper, and Enjoy!

The funny thing about this recipe is that it satisfied people of all ages (Ava loved it, Marc loved it, and my dad was a fan), it can feed 4 people for breakfast, and it only costs about $5 to make! WiN!!

I made these veggies frittata squares on Sunday and I am so happy I did.

They were a great snack to have on hand mid morning after training, and Ava loved them too. It takes no skill and little time to make these.

An added bonus….Eggs are packed with protein, good fats, and vitamins!!  They are so versatile and can be eaten for breakfast, snacks, lunch or dinner!

Easy Veggie Fritatta Squares

Directions: Whisk together eggs and milk in a bowl. Spray a baking dish with olive oil spray. Add in 1/2 of egg mixture, sprinkle in the spinach and tomatoes, add remaining egg mix, and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes or until cooked through.

They are great right out of the oven, on a piece of toast, with a salad, or even served cold right out of the fridge (yes I am lazy sometimes and eat them cold!).

If you aren’t a fan of spinach or tomatoes, you could substitute broccoli, peppers, mushrooms or any veggies you like!

Speaking of recipes… last night Marc and I were trying to think of some healthy nighttime snacks to make. I usually get hungry around 830pm and I’m always looking for something tasty to eat. We tried out a Healthy Protein Apple Crisp recipe.

It was pretty good… I mean we ate the whole thing so it had to be PRETTY good, but it needs a little tweaking! Maybe more butter??

I will be sure to share it with you guys once we really approve

Do you try out your own recipes?

What is your favorite night time snack?
