This quick and easy skillet frittata is an excellent breakfast choice because it’s packed with high-quality protein from eggs, which helps keep you full and supports muscle repair and brain function. Plus, this simple one pan skillet frittata can be made ahead of time, making mornings stress-free while providing long-lasting energy and stable blood sugar levels.
In the past, I’ve mixed my frittatas in a large bowl and tossed into a baking pan. While that on its own is not at all overwhelming, this skillet version is even simpler. For this recipe, I used breakfast sausage with green onions and fresh tomatoes and parsley. Although, I love frittatas because they are a perfect way to use up your creativity as well as the sad looking vegetables at the bottom of your fridge.
Eggs are rich in essential nutrients like choline, which is crucial for brain health, and B vitamins, which aid in energy production. A frittata is also incredibly versatile, allowing you to add nutrient-dense ingredients like leafy greens, bell peppers, and cheese for extra vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Use up any cheeses, meats or vegetables you have lying around. This also makes a great dinner choice when you’re low on groceries and time.
