Italian Pizza Frittata
|
Serves 2 – 4 people, depending on appetite
I have been hunting for a great frittata recipe that was both delicious and easy to make. I was amazed at how difficult people can make a recipe! From multiple bowls and complicated procedures right up to one recipe that even has you making your own seasoning… sheesh kabob!!… who really wants to do that??
So, I made my own recipe. It is wonderful for low carb diets, and diabetics will not see a significant blood glucose spike from it IF it is made according to the recipe. If you start adding cheese and other stuff… you may end up spiking your sugars. Just be aware of that if you have diabetes.
It also freezes very well, and makes a very portable meal on the go.
INGREDIENTS
1 TBSP Italian Seasoning
½ pound ground pork
8 eggs
½ c tomato sauce, or crushed fresh tomatoes
basil (½ tsp or to taste)
oregano (½ tsp or to taste)
garlic salt (½ tsp or to taste)
1 TBSP coconut oil
1 bell pepper (green or red work best), chopped
1 cup diced mushrooms
3 – 4 green onions, sliced
black olives, sliced (optional)
METHOD
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Combine ground pork with Italian seasoning and mix well. In an oven safe frying pan, brown the pork - breaking it into small bits as it cooks.
While the pork is browning, whisk the eggs, tomato sauce, basil, oregano and garlic salt together. You can chop the veggies too.
Once the pork is browned, remove it from the pan and set it aside. Melt the coconut oil in the pan and add all of the veggies. Cook them for 2 or 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the meat back into the pan and cook for another minute or so.
Add the egg mixture, mixing well. Allow it to cook until the edges start to set up.
Move the pan into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Let it sit for a few minutes, then using a spatula, slide it out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut into 4 pieces.
