Saffron Frittata
Frittatas are a perfect choice for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, offering a delicious way to pack in greens, protein, and a boost of saffron in a single slice. Whether feeding kids or preparing a balanced meal for yourself, it's an easy, wholesome option.
It's also a go-to dish for hosting friends and family! During the holidays, this frittata is a favorite for cozy mornings at home. In the summer, fresh cherry tomatoes are a welcome addition, adding a burst of vibrant flavor. The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility—feel free to swap out the greens or vegetables to suit your preferences!
Ingredients:
- 6 large pasture-raised eggs (use 8 eggs for a 12-inch skillet)
- 2 of The Fullest® Saffron Capsules
- 2-3 heads of organic green onions, sliced
- ½ bulb organic fennel, thinly sliced and chopped
- 1 chopped organic zucchini
- 1 cup organic cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
- ¼ cup yogurt (we love Cocojune or Culina coconut yogurt, but grass-fed Greek yogurt works great)
- ⅓ cup organic sheep’s milk feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Frittata Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, saffron capsules, and salt.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a 10 or 12-inch cast iron skillet, sauté the sliced green onions, fennel, zucchini, and any additional vegetables (like cherry tomatoes) just until tender.
- Combine: Once the vegetables are ready, pour the frittata base over them. Gently shake the pan to distribute the mixture evenly among the vegetables.
- Add Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F.
- Bake: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the frittata to cool slightly before slicing and enjoying!
