Saucy Mediterranean Frittata: A Savory Dish For Any Meal Of The Day

I love eggs. Especially the cage-free variety that come straight from the farm. Plus, they’re so healthy for you!

Eggs are a good source of protein and healthy fats, they contain a good variety of vitamins and minerals, they contain antioxidants, and most people can tolerate them (unless of course, you’re allergic to the whites).

Today, I’m gonna share one of my favorite egg recipes with you – Saucy Mediterranean Frittata. This delicious recipe doesn’t taste eggy, my kids love it, and it can be eaten for any meal… breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Not only that, but it takes right around 30-minutes to make from start to finish, and it can be used as a side dish or a complete meal. It’s so versatile!
