Keto Frittatas
Light, cheesy, deliciousness is what this egg frittata is made of. All you need is a handful of spinach to cook in olive oil until wilted, then add in whisked eggs, salt and pepper, and your favourite cheese. Sometimes I will use feta, parmesan, or shredded cheddar. Easy as can be and little to no carbs, this recipe is perfect for keeping your macros in check! As in, it’s a great source of protein, vitamins and minerals (thanks to the eggs) and calcium.
Use sea salt or himalayan salt (pink salt) to get a boost of electrolytes, as you tend to lose a lot of water while consuming a low carb diet diet. Learn more about that here.

Not-Your-Average Pan Fried Egg Frittata
Traditional frittatas are cooked on the stove in a cast iron skillet and then transferred into the oven to bake. This recipe is way easier than that. The frittata isn’t as thick as it calls for in other recipes, all you need is a non-stick frying pan and some butter. You can also use ghee or coconut oil, but the better condition your non-stick pan is in, the better.
I love to drizzle some hot sauce on top, but of course, I know there are some ketchup lovers out there! Here is a low carb ketchup that is sweetened with stevia if you simply cannot live without it. Hot pepper flakes and even a freshly sliced avocado works wonderfully on top as well.
Switch out your morning smoothie with this easy egg recipe! I’d love to see how yours turns out.
