Eggs are a good source of protein and also contain choline, a nutrient that helps make the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which plays a role in memory, mood, and brain and nervous system function.
Mediterranean Frittata
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 red onion, sliced thinly
- 2-3 cups spinach, chopped (a few handfuls)
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup marinated artichokes, chopped
- 1 roasted red pepper, diced and seeds removed (you can buy these already done or do it yourself in the oven)
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler of your oven.
- In a medium sized oven-safe frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until it softens. Add spinach and cook until softened, another 3 minutes or so.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl and then pour over the softened veggies.
- Wait a couple of minutes for the eggs to start to set on the bottom and top with the artichokes, roasted pepper, and crumbled goat cheese.
- Place under the broiler and cook until the eggs are set, about 5-6 minutes but this may vary based on your broiler. Keep a close eye on it.
- Serve and enjoy with your favourite whole grain bread.
