What is a Frittata?

Ingredients and Variations
EGGS AND CHEESE – These are the basics for any frittata. Choose large eggs and bright and tangy cheddar cheese. For an extra fluffy frittata with a protein boost add two egg whites. Monterey Jack, Swiss, Colby, Feta, and Mexican Cotija are all strong-flavored cheeses that melt well in frittatas.
VEGETABLES – Zucchini, onions, and red bell peppers take the stage here, but any combination of low carb veggies like tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, thinly sliced Brussels sprouts, or asparagus adds to the flavor and visual appeal of a frittata. A small amount of hash brown potatoes can be added, but remember they are not keto!
MEAT – Bacon is low carb? You bet! Cooked bacon pieces add extra protein and that classic flavor to any frittata, but small dices of ham or even leftover cooked chicken, turkey, or smoked or even air-fried salmon will elevate a frittata into a main dish!
