This healthy 3 ingredient Frittata Recipe is perfect for those protein-rich breakfasts, lazy picnic lunches or quick speedy dinners. Serve with crusty bread or a lovely side salad; you will be completely smitten!
Change flooded our month, bringing a tide of uncertainty, excitement and fresh beginnings.
After months of living apart, my partner managed to secure a permanent role in Queensland, where we live. As a consequence of his new dream job, we found a gorgeous new home where we could be together permanently.
Despite having moved the year prior, we had completely forgotten how stressful moving homes could be.
Quickly our apartment became submerged in scavenged boxes, tissue paper and bubble wrap. Utilities had to be connected, appliances bought, and crockery packed away.
Shortly after taping a box shut, we would have to reopen it to recover the treasure buried deep inside, most likely at the bottom. We nostalgically sifted through old photographs, unwanted gifts we felt guilty of discarding, and we discovered items we had no idea we owned until at last, our life was packed in cardboard and labelled with a black marker.
The real estate agent would lead people through our once tiny apartment, the inspectors forced to step over the mountains of boxes. We could hardly move, let alone prepare a healthy or delicious meal.
Normally cooking is meditative for me. I enjoy plucking the fresh ingredients from the shelves and transforming them into a healthy plate of food. But with most of our cooking utensils packed away, preparing our meals became a fun challenge, a game. One pan, one spoon, under five ingredients.
That’s where this Healthy Frittata Recipe came into play. With less than 30 minutes preparation time and three ingredients, we had a scrumptious meal to get us through the few weeks of craziness.
The great thing about this dish is not only is it ridiculously easy, but you can also make it with different variations. Try it with “Roasted Capsicum, chèvre cheese and spinach”, “Potato, rosemary and anchovies”, or “Zucchini, pea, mint and crumbled feta.”
2I would love to hear your go-to meal in the comments section below! 🙂
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
- 500g mushrooms, debris removed finely sliced
- 120g baby spinach, washed
- 6 eggs, lightly whisked
- bread to serve (optional)
- Preheat the grill to 180 degrees celsius.
- Meanwhile, melt the coconut oil in a large deep frying pan on a medium to high heat. Add the mushrooms, and cook occasionally stirring for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are a golden brown.
- Once the mushrooms are brown, add the spinach and stir through until slightly wilted.
- Shake the pan, so the ingredients are well distributed, and pour in the whisked eggs. Reduce the heat to a low, cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes until the frittata is almost set, but the top is still moist. Remove the pan from the stove.
- Place the pan under the grill for approximately 2 minutes, until the top is a light golden brown.
- Remove the frittata, divide into four portions and serve with crusty bread or a light salad! Bon Appétit! 🙂
Hey There, I’m Kylie. My passion is plant-based recipes and I want to help you create something gorgeous!
I believe in taking a slow approach to food – to eat locally, seasonally and consciously.
When I’m not taking photos, you can find me wandering the coastal paths of South-East Australia.

I absolutely LOVE the way you set up your blog and all of the beautiful photos. I think somebody needs to roll out a cookbook for us cooking hobbyists!
Keep it up! xo

I really love the layout of your blog! It is so easy to follow and to save a recipe.

Bernadette says

Moving is terrible! When my husband and I moved to our new place we mislabeled a few of our boxes which was very stressful, especially when you are looking for that one item!
I love the idea of this dish, I do prepare something similar but I bake it. I also love the idea of a griddle pan!
Shawn says
That looks absolutely delicious and I love spinach. I will definitely have to try this!
Jane says
Wow, that looks really good and so healthy too! I love frittata but I’ve never tried it with mushrooms.
Keistal says
This is not a good post to read when I am starving.
This looks so good and healthy! I have to try it.
Louisa says
Lazy and quick are definitely for me.
I love this complex yet simple recipe. Complex because it looks like a lot of hard work to create a frittata and simple because it only requires a few ingredients. My kids would be enticed to eat this!
Cykaniki says
You made me crave for food this late at night. It’s deliciously prepared, and healthy too.
You’re were able to photograph it well.
Milton says
Okay first of all… I really love all your photos and how you presented all the ingredients in a very artistic way. It makes your food look even more appealing.
This dish is truly interesting and I guess this is a kind of meal that you can confidently eat without feeling the guilt.
It’s healthy and it looks absolutely scrumptious. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
Erica says
Congratulations on the change that has happened for the two of you! I think it is for the best! It must be difficult to be separated from your partner!
Anyways, I am interested in your recipe and I agree, I am smitten by this dish. I will definitely try it!!!!

Firstly, I love the photos! Secondly, it’s great that I’m reading this breakfast time! And thirdly, I love how you said cooking is meditative for you because I can relate to that! Though, I am not as good as you in terms of cooking so do keep the posts coming! 🙂
Dan says

Hello, your article is too good to read! You are doing great work. This will help me lots.

I saw a similar recipe at a cooking demo for World Egg Day. It was by Stephanie Zubiri and I loved the presentation and taste! I’ve been meaning to make one at home since we love omelets. A timely reminder and something for the holidays. I also have a bottle of coconut oil that I didn’t know what to do with and I can finally use it!
