Caffeine Free Basil & Oregano Egg and Greens Frittata
This herb-loaded frittata is the kind of dish that makes a simple egg dinner feel genuinely special. Zucchini, baby spinach, and scallion greens get cooked down in olive oil until tender and fragrant, then blanketed in an egg mixture brightened with fresh basil and dried oregano — the result is savory, colorful, and deeply satisfying. The stovetop-to-broiler method gives you perfectly set edges with a golden, lightly blistered top that looks far more impressive than the effort involved. For anyone keeping caffeine completely out of their diet, this recipe is a natural fit — every ingredient is wholesome and straightforward, with zero hidden stimulants to second-guess. The optional red pepper flakes add a gentle kick, but the dish holds its own without them if you prefer something milder. It comes together in one skillet, which means less cleanup and a beautiful rustic presentation right at the table. Whether you serve it for breakfast, a lazy brunch, or a light weeknight dinner, this frittata is the kind of recipe you'll find yourself coming back to again and again.
