Veggie Frittata Recipe

(54)

Do you need a new frittata recipe? Then it’s time to make this Protein Veggie Frittata, powered by bone broth. This isn’t your standard frittata. No, this egg-based dish is loaded with protein and fresh vegetables. I especially love adding broccoli for some extra green and cancer-preventing benefits. And I haven’t added it to the ingredients list, but grated cheddar cheese makes for a tasty addition as well.

Bone broth protein veggie frittata ingredients - Dr. AxeBest of all, this protein veggie frittata is so simple to make, but it looks super fancy, perfect for entertaining weekend guests. And it’s prepared in one pan — less dishes to wash! Let’s get cooking.

Start by heating an oven-proof, all-metal sauté pan over medium-high heat. Bring the bone broth and sea salt to a simmer. Add in the veggies and let it all simmer for 8 minutes uncovered. Reduce the heat to low.

The fresh basil adds a ton of flavor to this protein veggie frittata, but if you don’t have the herb on hand, thyme works nicely as well. And though it’s optional, I love the extra “zing” the red pepper flakes add. When the eggs are whisked, add the mixture to the pan with the bone broth protein and stir to combine.

Cover the pan and cook on the stove for 10–15 minutes. Then transfer the pan to the oven, letting the frittata finish cooking. Keep your eyes on the eggs in this step; you want them to set, not burn. This will take anywhere from 3–7 minutes.

That’s it! This protein veggie frittata powered by bone broth is ready. I like garnishing it with some of the fresh herbs and serving with a side of avocado slices for extra healthy fats and nutrition.

    What would you recommend in order to make this a suitable option for vegetarians? Would vegetable stock work instead of bone broth? If so, how much? Thanks!

    God made all food and he said it was good , man have messed up our foods, think Monsanto ,If you don’t want to use bone broth , then make you veggie broth, if you believe eggs are bad then don’t use it, dr Axe gave us a recipe , just be creative and create one that suits you. It will be mad to please every one. All diseases are self inflicted today . That why the food manufactures are having a field day, use spinach, create your eggs if you don’t eat the creators eggs use chi seed make it eggy so veggie ,
