Light, Protein-Rich & Perfectly Balanced
This Spinach, Zucchini & Pea Frittata is a fresh, nourishing dish that brings together tender vegetables, creamy cheeses, and fluffy eggs in one simple yet satisfying bake. It’s the kind of recipe that works just as well for a relaxed weekend brunch as it does for meal prep during the week, offering both comfort and nutrition in every slice.
