The BEST Paleo Frittata Recipe!

A Paleo frittata that is so versatile you can add your favorite vegetables!  When looking for a quick and tasty meal, this is a favorite go-to that pairs super with Paleo Sweet Potato Hash.

Ripe fresh zucchini, crisp vibrant basil, farm fresh pastured eggs and the sweetest summer tomatoes were used in this gluten-free vegetable frittata!

Paleo Vegetable Frittata:

A few weeks ago, while I was in eastern Long Island, I found a few awesome farms that sold organic produce.  Additionally, I found some farm fresh, pastured eggs.

So, before I left to return to Massachusetts, I stopped at the farms and purchased some zucchini, tomatoes, purple potatoes, herbs, and eggs.  Everything has been amazing.  The cherry tomatoes are so ripe and sweet!

Ingredients For This Paleo Spinach Frittata:

1. Eggs
2. Coconut Cream
3. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or coconut oil)
4. Zucchini
5. Spinach
6. Tomatoes
7. Basil
8. Sea Salt
9. Ground Pepper

This gluten-free frittata can be made with other fresh in-season vegetables.  In most places, there is readily available farm fresh produce.

Another favorite – try this Paleo sausage breakfast egg casserole – Paleo Breakfast Casserole.

This baked Paleo frittata is perfect for summer produce such as you are finding at the local farms right now.

Buying and cooking in season is something I am slowly learning how to do.  Using fresh ingredients really tastes better.

There’s nothing like fresh summer produce.  Enjoy!
