Tomato, Spinach & Shiitake Mushroom Frittata

Have a crowd for breakfast or brunch? Frittata.

Want a fancy looking dish that’s actually super simple? Frittata.

Want a delicious protein-rich meal that’s budget friendly? Frittata.

You get the idea.

This is the perfect recipe to keep on hand for a quick weekend meal. I love mixing up the veggies so it’s something different every time, too. For this recipe, I chopped up some fresh cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and shiitake mushrooms.

Veggie Breakdown

Whenever I’m creating a dish I think about two things.

1. The Flavour
2. The Nutrient Profile

I want something that not only tastes absolutely delicious but still contains important nutrients that allow your body to thrive. Remember, food is fuel. Not filler.

Making it a Meal

The frittata is great on its own but if you’re looking to fill out your breakfast table try making my Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries (just cut into hash brown shape) and my Garden Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing.

If you’re looking for a sweet addition my Sweet Potato Pancakes with Blueberry Chia Seed Jam are just the thing!
