Egg-cellently healthy Frittata

An egg is an egg is an egg, right? That’s what I thought until we started buying them from our CSA Farm: they are bigger, with huge yolks, and so full of flavor that it is hard to compare them to a store-bought egg. The farmer credits the grass in the chickens’ diet, and if you’ve ever noticed the difference between grain-fed and grass-fed beef, you’ll know this makes sense.
Because the eggs are so outrageously delicious — not to mention a healthy source of protein — we’ve been cooking with them more often, and we simply love this spinach frittata recipe.
So what makes this frittata so healthy?
- goat cheese cuts down on the fat and improves digestibility
- spinach — the perfect leafy green, adding vitamins and minerals
- onion fights cancer and boosts the immune system
- sun-dried tomatoes provide lycopene and then some
Serve the frittata with a big, fresh, crisp and colorful salad of seasonal veggies and you’ve got one healthy dinner. Do you have a favorite frittata recipe?
