Frittata Frittata Frittata

Isn't that fun to say? Try it.

I was right, wasn't I?

Now let's get coking! Everyone loves breakfast for dinner and this was super easy to make! l I had some leftover beef from last night that I threw in with spinach and onions (sautéed in coconut oil), threw in 9 (yes, NINE) eggs along with salt, pepper, and my new favorite seasoning paprika! Cook all of this on the skillet about 2 minutes, stick it in the oven and voila! Dinner (er breakfast?) is served!




Meat & Veggie Frittata
9 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika
2-3 cups chopped veggies (I used spinach and onions)
About 1 cup protein (I used beef)
1-2 tbsp coconut oil (or other fat)

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix together eggs and seasonings. In skillet sauté veggies and meat in your oil. Add eggs and cook for about 2 minutes, let sit for 30 seconds to solidify bottom (your mixture should still be runny). Place in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until brown on top. Take out and let cool and serve! 

Such a great protein packed meal and now I have leftovers for tomorrow!

An Egg and Avocado Love Child

My world has been changed. Although I have known the magnificence of eggs and avocado for quite some time, it has now been taken to another level.

I present the Baked Eggvocado.

Is it as delicious as it looks? Without a doubt. Bonus is that this is super easy to make! Grab an avocado, a couple eggs, throw it in the oven and BAM breakfast (or lunch, or dinner..perhaps a snack..) is served!

Baked Eggvocado
2 eggs
1 medium avocado
salt & pepper

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Halve your avocado, throw away the seed, and scoop out a small portion of each center so that the hole is a pretty good size (of course you must eat any avocado that is scooped out, no use wasting such a valuable resource). Take a small pan covered in foil and place each half on it, face up. Crack your eggs, one each into your avocado. Don't worry about the egg whites falling out a bit (the foil will help), if you would like more of your egg to make it in then buy a bigger avocado!

Season with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings (thinking garlic next...) Place in the oven for 20-30 minutes depending on how baked you would like your eggs. I kept mine in for 28 minutes and my eggs were thoroughly baked, I will probably cut that time to 20 minutes hoping for a runnier egg (my fav).

Take out of the oven, grab a spoon and dig in!!

I ate them just like that but the possibilites are endless! Top with pico de gallo? Guacamole? Bacon bits?

Consider your world changed.
