Paleo Spinach and Mushroom Frittata
Start your day with this hearty and nutritious Paleo frittata, packed with spinach, mushrooms, and flavorful herbs. A perfect egg-based breakfast option for those following a Paleo diet.
Ingredients
- 6 Eggs
- 5 oz Spinach
- 8 oz Mushrooms
- 1/4 Red Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 2 tbsp Almond Milk (unsweetened)
- 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Prepare the Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash the spinach thoroughly. Chop the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Dice the red onion and mince the garlic.
Sauté the Vegetables
Heat the coconut oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2 minutes.
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Combine and Bake
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown.
Cool and Serve
Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
