My Skinny Shamrock Shake got amazing response last week so I figured you must love either:
a.) Skinny recipes or
b.) Green recipes for St. Patrick’s Day?
So today’s recipe is a combination of those – a Healthy Green Frittata! 
Ingredients:
- 1 potato, peeled and thinly sliced
- 5 eggs, 3 egg whites
- 8 oz. frozen spinach
- 7 oz. can green chilies
- 3/4c shredded cheese. Any kind works, but cheddar is betta.
- green onions
- S&P
Directions: Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray pan and arrange potato slices on bottom. Microwave potato slices for 2 minutes to soften a bit. (If you are not using a microwave safe pan do this first on a separate plate.) 
Microwave frozen spinach until thawed and press out excess water. I put mine in the center of a clean dish towel and ring it out. It makes the towel green, you’ve been warned.
Mix spinach with green chili. Spread mixture on top of potato layer. 
Sprinkle cheese on top of spinach layer.
Beat eggs and egg whites together. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over layered ingredients. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set. Optional: Garnish with green onions.
Mine was done in about 25 minutes but this is a big, shallow quiche silicon pan. 
Enjoy!
Oh no – WAIT!
Now, enjoy 
This Meatless Monday recipe was brought to you by Veganville with Justin Timberlake…
Justin Timberlake – Bring It On Down 2…
Question: Does anyone else think it’s weird eggs aren’t considered meat by the definition of the vegetarian label?
I mean they’re kinda whole chicken…

When I see frittata I just think of Morning Glory, have you seen it?
Ahhh how great/entertaining/hilarious was that skit?!
Totally appropriate since we just saw your package of 60 eggs in your cart! I am seriously inspired to eat more eggs! And green things are not bad either
Hahahahahah JT was SO GOOD on SNL. I was dying during so many of those skits. Veganville was pretty hilarious if I do say so myself…
This looks so delicious! And very customizable too for any add ins you might be craving!
Technically the eggs aren’t anything yet since they aren’t fertilized. They are like the eggs we women shed monthly (which, as we know, aren’t human babies). As a vegetarian I have to remind myself of that so I feel less guilty using eggs!
An egg is not a whole chicken anymore than a woman’s egg is a whole person.
I had to explain to a coworker a while back that hens will not produce babies alone. She insisted for 20 minutes that you don’t need a rooster to make chicks.
That is such a clear way of putting it!
Also our oldest hen is named Frittata
Love it!
Hahaha…the egg comment made me laugh, but the anatomy teache in me wants to go into a fertilization lecture.
When you say green chillies – do you mean the spicy ones? I mean over here green chillies are the super spicy hot ones used to make curry.
I never thought about eggs that way, but you’re soooo right! Frittata are one of my staples. Love them, and love the idea of spinach in mine!
YUM! This looks so good, I’m making it tonight! But instead of ketchup, adding some hot sauce
Bring it on down to veganville! LOL
Yum! I wonder if I could prep all this the night before and stick it in the fridge so I could pop it in the oven in the morning? I cook eggs for my husband and I every morning as it is, but I only have the mental capacity to handle scrambled eggs at 5:15am. This could help switch things up a bit!
I TOTALLY think the same thing about eggs. I mean… it’s FROM a chicken. It MAKES a chicken. How is it not classified as… chicken?!?!
That frittata looks delicious!
YUM! That frittata looks delish! And I’ve never thought about eggs that way, but now I totally am… mind.blown.
I think Justin Timberlake is one of my favorite hosts on SNL.
I kinda think the same thing about eggs. But then again aside from occasional cheese I practically eat a vegan diet meaning yes, I don’t eat eggs. But keep up the recipes! This one I can’t change but a lot of them I can modify
Looks great! I always thought the fish/vegetarian thing was weird too…I mean fish were alive.
It took me a long time to eat eggs because every time I crakced one, I would think, man this is a chicken fetus I’m eating…. I’m over it now
Vegetarians don’t eat fish. Those people (we) are considered Pescetarians. :0)
Wow that’s super easy! Definitely trying this. Thanks for the recipe! And, I’m with you on the ketchup. I don’t care what anyone says, there’s no such thing as “one serving” of ketchup, ever.
My love for ketchup is a bit intense. I can relate to the ketchup on my ketchup thing.
Ketchup makes EVERYTHING better (or most everything).
I have a pet parrot and she started laying eggs recently. It took a lot of explaining to my husband as to why there would be no baby birds since we don’t have a male bird! I used the same analogy as a lady’s cycle to clarify fertilized egg vs non. Ha what if we could carry around an egg rather than do the whole pregnancy/birth thing?
I live eggs and don’t consider them meat at all. I think I need to make this. It’s perfect for weekday breakfast on the go.
Yum!! Thanks for the idea. I am going to the kitchen to make one for breakfast now!!
That looks incredible, and it’s gluten-free!! Yum!
Ketchup and hot sauce make their way into almost all of my meals ha! This looks super yummy!
Sooooo great to bump in to you at Expo West! LOVE this recipe.

Hello! Great to meet you too! I went to look for your booth and couldn’t find it. Boo. Hope you had a good show!
JT was hilarious in that skit! And this recipe looks delish too. Where did you get your rubber pie thingy??

What kind of potato is that? The texture looks more like a sweet potato.
It is a sweet potato, but I think this recipe would work better with a ‘regular’ potato.
Hi there. The current Food on Friday on Carole’s Chatter is collecting links to posts about breakfast dishes. I do hope you link this in. This is the link . Please do check out some of the other links – there are a lot of good ones already. Cheers
