Fooled Ya Frittata!

Once again I find myself in the position of getting ready to head out of town, and needing to clean out my fridge in order to eliminate waste.

Before bed last night, I noticed a carton of egg whites that was about 1/4 full.  And my veggie drawer was filled with garden goodies.  With these things fresh in my head, I believe I dreamed of preparing this morning’s Fuel Pull Frittata.

For the frittata, I chopped up onion, jalapeno, zucchini, garlic, and okra and sauteed them in a teaspoon of butter in my cast iron pan, seasoning all with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, I added a little scoop of turmeric to the carton of egg whites, and shook the carton like mad.  When the veggies were nice and softened, I poured the now-yellow egg whites over all the veggies.  After a nice crust formed on the bottom of the pan, I finished the frittata in the oven.

Out popped a golden yellow egg and veggie dish, which I admit was a little bland upon first taste.  So I sprinkled it with Parmesan cheese, nutritional yeast, Italian herb seasoning, and a little more salt and pepper.  Yum! Much better!

This frittata can be tweaked in so many ways. Use whatever veggies you'd like!  Add some feta, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, and sun dried tomatoes for a Greek style S frittata.  Throw in some salsa, black beans, corn, and taco seasoning for a south of the border E frittata.

To keep this breakfast in Fuel Pull mode this morning, I topped off my brunch with a Triple Berry Triple Zero Greek yogurt.

And now for a travel tip:  I filled the empty egg white carton about 7/8 full and threw it into the freezer. I did the same with an empty coconut milk box.  Voilà! Handy disposable ice packs for my cooler while traveling! 

These egg whites freeze well. 
I buy a case at a time and thaw as needed.
