Are you tired of scrambled, pouched or hard boiled eggs? You are not alone. The trick to enjoying a delicious savoury breakfast even during the weekdays is to bake a delicious frittata. They are so easy to make and you can really throw in anything you have leftover from the weekend. For this recipe I decided I would add in two of my go to vegetables packed with micronutrients to keep you feeling fabulous and full of energy......Kale and Sweet Potatoes. Starting your day with a savoury frittata will give you a healthy source of protein and fats to keep you feeling satified, slow down the release of glucose into your blood and it may even prevent any sugar cravings you have during the day. Give this recipe a go or switch it up to include your favourite veggies. 'Feed your mind, body and soul with nourishing foods' The Recipe: Serves 4-6 2-3 small sweet potatoes grated or spiralized 6 organic/pasture raised eggs 1-2 large handful of Kale chopped finely 1 shallot chopped into thin slices 1 garlic clove crushed (optional) 1/2 cup of milk alternative (I used almond milk) 1 tsp himalayan salt 1 tsp black pepper 1/2 cup of chopped sundried tomatoes (rinsed of oil) 1/4 cup coriander (optional) Preheat the oven to 175C and line a 8x8 dish with baking paper to make it easy to remove the frittata when cooked through. In a pan heat a bit of coconut oil or rapeseed oil and saute the shallots for 1-2 minutes, add in the garlic and sweet potaotes just to soften lightly. Then lightly toss through the kale until just wilted. Remove from the heat and set aside. In a large bowl whisk your eggs, add in the milk, sea salt, pepper, coriander. Add in the cooked veggies and stir to combine. Then pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes watch that it doesn't burn but that it is cooked through. Slice into portions and serve with fresh rocket salad and 1/4 sliced avocado or other veggies of choice. ** Can be frozen into portions for a quick breakfast on the go during the week or on the weekend.

Hi Lesley, thanks for the feedback and glad you liked the recipe. If you are wondering about the calories and macronutrients/micronutrients in this recipe the easiest way to work it out is to put it into a calorie counter online. I roughly worked this out to be around 300-350cals per serving (6 servings). Hope that helps and remember that these are all nutrient rich calories rather then empty calories, a great start to the day I would say.
