Easy and delicious Monday night frittata

Share this Recipe

Monday night, although the beginning of the week, can sometimes be a little chaotic, especially if you are exhausted from the weekend and have not done the shopping yet.

We’ve nicknamed this frittata the ‘Monday night frittata‘ as it’s the perfect quick and healthy recipe.

It’s especially good for using up whatever veggies you might have knocking around in the fridge, making it budget friendly as well as deliciously healthy (and the perfect choice for those who are part of the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge).Monday Night Frittata

One of the best things about the Monday night frittata is that it’s completely customisable. You can swap and change the ingredients to suit what you have to hand. For example, you could swap:

  • Kale for baby spinach
  • Peas for beans
  • Bacon for ham (or omit altogether for a vegetarian option)

You could also add any leftover roast veggies (pumpkin and sweet potato are ideal).
