How good are frittatas?! Absolutely loving caramelised onion at the moment because it’s super easy & adds a heap of flavour, plus it’s like a secret count towards your daily vegetable intake which people forget about-yes, a serve of onion counts towards your recommended 5 serves each day of veg!

Frittatas are a good go-to for people who follow a gluten free diet, they are a simple meal to whip up for breakfast, lunch or dinner & I am yet to meet someone who doesn’t like frittatas!

Why it’s good for you

Eggs, eggs & more eggs. I can’t get enough! Super nutritious great for choline for those trying to conceive or are currently pregnant, and if you can get free range, loaded with good fats to reduce any sort of inflammation. I think of eggs are natures little perfectly packages of nutrition!

Mushrooms are a great source of Vitamin D, a lot client with PCOS I work with are low or deficient in Vitamin D. Plus, during these lockdown times, we are definitely need to be conscious of getting enough Vitamin D. It’s a nutrient we are constantly learning more and more about. For those with weak bones or family history of osteoporosis, getting your vitamin D is so important for string bones!

Dietitian Tip: Put your mushrooms somewhere the sun can reach them as this boosts the vitamin d you eat!!!!

Onion is a prebiotic which is food for our gut bugs and if you’ve been following along for a while, you’ll know gut health is important as poor gut health has been linked to over 70 chronic diseases. Plus, it so underrated, yes, it’s a pain to cut up but absolutely worth it nutritionally!

Notes

I choose to use danish feta because I love the creaminess…oh so good! But any feta is fab, if you find some, choose salt reduced feta :)
Don’t go overboard on the mushrooms, they produce a lot of moisture when they cook which can result in a soggy frittata…no thanks
Stick to the 2 eggs per person rule, if you’re making it for more people this is an easy way to adjust the recipe eg. making it for 4 people, use 8 eggs!
I use red onion because it’s naturally sweeter…plus the purple is more aesthetically pleasing ;) however, I have also used brown onions which taste just as good
Once you pour the eggs in the mixture, don’t stir or mix it, otherwise you’ll end up with scrambled eggs, not a frittata
Using milk is optional, I’ve made it with and without milk and both work well
