Paleo Spinach & Pancetta Frittata

One of my favorite things to make for a weekend breakfast is a quick and easy paleo frittata…one pan, some leftover veggies, crack a few eggs, and you’re done.

whole30 compliant recipe markFor this recipe, I did do a little planning and grabbed some diced pancetta ahead of time from the deli…it’s a nice change from regular bacon, and I love the extra flavor it adds to this breakfast dish.

I must confess, my frittatas are almost always fried a little and then baked. In Italy, the pan’s trip to the oven would be frowned upon because flipping the frittata in the pan and finishing it on the stovetop is the way Italian moms do it. Of course they also put pasta and cheese in theirs too.

Traditions aside, I think you’ll find this easy paleo frittata recipe is incredibly good. You’ve got the savoriness of the pancetta going on plus the sweetness of the sweet potato, a subtle onion accent, and a little green variety with the spinach leaves. Add eggs, coconut milk, and your favorite seasonings, and this is an excellent way to start your family’s day. [av_sidebar widget_area=’Lockerdome’ av_uid=’av-oncp93′]

All you need are the ingredients below and a frying pan that can do double duty on top of the stove as well as in the oven. For this recipe, a 10-inch oven-proof skillet works perfectly.

Then it’s just a matter of chopping and grating, sautéeing everything a little bit, pouring the egg mixture on top, then sliding it into the oven for about 20 minutes.

Any leftover slices from this one will keep nicely in the fridge for a few days so you can enjoy this dish again as a simple heat and eat breakfast.

Give this easy paleo frittata recipe a try soon…it’s fully loaded with healthy protein and veggies, plus some really outstanding flavors to get your day started right!
