Lunch Frittata

A simple and healthy lunch or breakfast! Saute mushrooms, broccoli and baby spinach in olive oil in an oven safe pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Next, add 2 eggs and 1 egg white (scrambled). Shift the pan around so the egg is evenly distributed, but don't mix! Cook on medium heat for about three minutes. You should be able to see the outer edges solidifying. Add shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to the top. Next, place pan in 350 degree oven for 6 minutes. 

Broccoli & Monterey Jack Fritatta

For a healthy filling breakfast after the gym I made a fritatta. I'm starting to enjoy fritattas because they are a nice alternative to omelets and once you get the basics down you can use whatever veggie/cheese combo you like!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

Ingredients:

-scramble 2 eggs & 1 egg white (last time I used 2 egg whites & one egg, but this morning I chopped up more broccoli than I needed so I needed enough egg to make it worth while)

-1 cup fresh cut up broccoli

-1/4 cup monterey jack cheese

-ground black pepper

Directions:

-Spray small oven safe pan & on medium/low heat cook broccoli until soft (covered)

-Then add scrambled eggs and pepper

-"wiggle" the pan so the egg is evenly distributed throughout the broccoli

-add cheese

-cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes or until you can see the egg solidifying

-transfer to oven and cook for 6 minutes 

Don't Hate on Oatmeal!

Not many of my friends at school seem to like oatmeal, but it is one of my favorite go to breakfast meals or snacks. I don't use instant though! I always use old fashion or quick cooking oats making them on the stove with water. To make my oatmeal more tasty I add honey, almonds or fresh banana.  Oatmeal is very healthy, filling and easy to make! 

Super Easy Frittata!

Today for lunch I made my first ever frittata and it was so easy! I chopped up onion, zucchini, tomato and green pepper. You must use an oven safe pan! I scrambled two egg whites and one whole egg. First, spray pan or add a half tablespoon of olive oil. Then cook veggies for a few minutes to soften and sprinkle with black pepper. Next, add the scrambled egg mixture. Don't touch it after the eggs are added, just let it start to solidify. When I could see the edged had solidified I added parmesan cheese and put the pan in the oven  at 350 degrees for six minutes. That's it! I just added more parmesan cheese when I took the frittata out of the oven.
