Citrus Free Basil & Oregano Egg and Greens Frittata
Eggs, garden herbs, and tender vegetables come together in a skillet frittata that feels equally at home on a lazy weekend brunch table or a quick weeknight dinner. Zucchini gets a head start in olive oil until it turns lightly golden, then garlic, scallion greens, and baby spinach join the pan before the herbed egg mixture is poured right over the top. Fresh basil torn directly into the eggs and a hit of dried oregano give every bite a fragrant, savory depth that makes this feel far more special than the effort involved. The whole thing finishes under the broiler, which sets the top with just a touch of golden color and gives the frittata that classic, slightly puffed look. For anyone navigating a citrus-free lifestyle, this recipe is a genuinely easy win — every single ingredient is naturally free of citrus, with no marinades, dressings, or finishing squeezes that might sneak it in. A short rest in the pan before slicing means clean wedges and a custardy, cohesive texture all the way through. Serve it straight from the skillet and let everyone help themselves.
