This fresh frittata is a wonderful low carb dish that is quick to prepare and also looks great as a meal prep dish. Parmesan cheese and eggs ensure a good supply of protein, which makes you full and supports muscle building.

FODMAP eating? Be sure to use almond milk instead of cream. Refine your frittata with freshly grated nutmeg and Gorgonzola instead of Parmesan. Even cold, the omelet from the oven promises the highest pleasure.

Preparation

Kitchen utensils

1 Knife, 1 Cutting board, 1 large coated Skillet, 1 Grater, 1 Whisk

Preparation steps

1.

Clean the scallions and cut them into diagonal strips. Wash the herbs, shake dry, pluck and chop coarsely.

2.

Heat the oil in a large coated frying pan (or two small frying pans) and sauté the spring onions in it for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Finely grate the Parmesan cheese. Whisk the eggs with the cream (or almond milk), herbs and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over scallions, mix briefly and let set over low heat for about 10 minutes (stop stirring). When the bottom side is browned, divide into 4 pieces using a spatula. Also finish baking on the second side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

3.

Wash the arugula and shake dry. Serve frittata topped with arugula and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
