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…
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!
