Paleo Bacon Zucchini & Red Pepper Frittata

Our goal from the beginning here on Paleo Newbie has been to encourage everyone to eat real food, and reward those who do with some great-tasting paleo and gluten-free recipes…

whole30 compliant recipe markWe try to make your cooking as quick and easy as possible, and come up with healthier paleo and gluten-free versions of dishes you might have enjoyed in the past – but still give you all those great flavors you remember.

I know frittatas have been done by just about everyone, but I wanted to share my favorite version with you.

I really like this one because there are many people who just can’t tolerate dairy. [av_sidebar widget_area=’Lockerdome’ av_uid=’av-2uq1d6′]

And let’s face it, lots of people will say, ‘What’s a frittata without the cheese?’ Well for this dairy-free recipe, I added paleo-approved full-fat coconut milk to give the eggs that creamy texture I know you’re going to be looking for in the very first bite.

I also added zucchini and red bell pepper for a sweet, peppery zip.

The result I think is amazing! This recipe is so easy, looks beautiful, and practically guarantees you huge kudos from everyone around the breakfast table. And we all love that, right? :)

If you’re cooking for just 2 or 3 people, this recipe is perfect because the leftover slices can be reheated and served for another wonderful breakfast, brunch or even lunch the next day.

Hope you try this little gem. I’m sure it will become a new breakfast favorite!

  1. My husband and I are new to the Paleo lifestyle. Thanks so much for your recipes, they are great! However, I have had trouble finding bacon that is not cured using “sugar”…any suggestions?

    1. I found one at Trader joes without sugar, but I can’t remember if it was the Trader Joes brand. You could check with Whole foods as well. Good Luck on your Paleo journey. We hope you find recipes you will enjoy here.

    My hubby I and embarked on the Whole30 program this week and had this for dinner on Wed night – just deliciious!! I don’t have an oven skillet so I just put it into a oven dish!!

    1. I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Good point on just using a oven dish. Tastes just as yummy! Good lunch with your Whole 30. For my hubby and I, it ended up being a whole 90. :) it took me that long to stop craving sugar and carbs. But it’s worth it. Stay strong and I hope you find more of our recipes to enjoy. Thank you!

  3. just made this…it’s DELICIOUS! It almost seems as if there is cheese in it…not sure if that’s the creaminess or the shredded zucchini. It softens up and looks like cheese…

    1. Julie, thank you! I started adding a little coconut milk to my egg recipes that would normally have cheese, and I don’t even miss it! Plus, you’re right the zucchini is great too! I’m so glad you tried it and like it. Yay! :)

      1. If I don’t use coconut milk, can I use reg. whole milk?

        1. I would use half-n-half or cream. Milk should work too. :)
