Mixed Vegetable Frittata

Mixed Vegetable Frittata

Most nutrition experts agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eating a balanced breakfast gives the body’s metabolism a kick-start, and provides our brains and bodies with much-needed fuel after a night of fasting. And research shows that protein, in particular, at breakfast can help energize the body and curb hunger all day long1 How much protein is enough? Research suggests that 20 to 30 grams of protein helps deliver appetite satisfaction and supports weight control1. A breakfast frittata is an easy and delicious way to reach that optimal protein range and including grilled or roasted vegetables will boost flavor, fiber and nutritional value even more. Uneaten frittata can be stored in the refrigerator and then re-heated for a quick breakfast on-the-go.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
