Spinach & Red Pepper Frittata

 

Low carb WLS Recipe for Red Pepper and Spinach Frittata.

I love frittata meals for a few solid reasons.

– VERY fast to get dinner on the table

– Inexpensive ingredients (hello….eggs for dinner is so cheap!)

– Leftovers reheat great for breakfast

I’ve made several frittata recipes over the years. Mostly they consist of veggies in the house that are going to go bad if I don’t use them up quickly! I made quick video featuring how easy Skillet Frittatas are here. Try this Easy Southwest Frittata too!

I also made a Pizza Frittata for a fun new flavor and a Bacon & Veggie Frittata (Premier Access Recipes).

While the full recipe is below, I just couldn’t help but take a picture of how beautiful these veggies were sautéing together before I added the eggs. Mmmmm.
