A frittata is an egg-based dish similar to an omelet or crustless quiche. It’s typically baked and loaded with cheese, veggies, and sometimes meat.

Is this recipe healthy?

Yes! This frittata is high in protein, packed with veggies, and low in carbs—great for a balanced breakfast.

Can I make this without an air fryer?

Yes! You can bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes, or until the center is fully set.

Can I use egg whites only?

Absolutely. Swap out whole eggs for egg whites to lower the fat and cholesterol content.
