Stuck on breakfast ideas? Bored of brunch? Low on Low fodmap snacks? Three problems and one solution. The humble frittata. A Spanish blend of eggs, potato and whatever veggies you fancy. Delicious.
Not only is it yummy, but frittatas are naturally low in fodmaps and they’re quick, easy and cheap to make. I recon you could easily make a frittata that will last you 4 breakfasts for around £2 maximum. Let’s face it there is nothing fancy about egg and potato mixed with leftover veg. But when it tastes this good, you don’t have to use fancy ingredients.
So tips for the method; firstly cube the potato! I know this isn’t traditional, you often find Spanish frittatas contain sliced potatoes but for ease of cooking I’d definitely go for cubes!
I know I’ve called this a red pepper and spinach frittata but you can use any veg you want, add in some chorizo or pancetta if you fancy increasing the protein. On the nutrition front, it’s worthwhile pointing out that this meal is a great way to get veg into your diet. This recipe uses 3/5 a day and if you’re having that for breakfast you’re only 2 more portions away from the daily goal of 5 portions of fruit or veg. The other bonus of this dish, it’s filling and eggs are a good source of protein. This means it’s a great brekkie choice, and it’ll keep you going till lunchtime!
You can eat this frittata breakfast, noon or night and that’s why it’s so fab. Pair it with a salad and you’ve got yourself a meal for the family! You can even it cold as a nice snack when you’re on the go!
So onwards with the recipe! I’ve added another recipe card, hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!
Happy Cooking!
