Paleo Basil & Oregano Egg and Greens Frittata
Eggs, garden-fresh vegetables, and a generous hand with herbs come together in a skillet dish that feels both nourishing and genuinely satisfying. Zucchini gets a quick sear until golden at the edges, then baby spinach, scallion greens, and garlic join the pan before the egg mixture — whisked with dried oregano and torn fresh basil — is poured right over the top. The stovetop-to-broiler method gives you set, custardy edges with a lightly golden top that looks far more impressive than the effort involved. Every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, so there's no need to scan labels for sneaky grains, dairy, or additives that can derail a clean eating approach. The red pepper flakes are optional, but even a pinch adds a subtle warmth that plays beautifully against the brightness of the fresh basil. It slices into clean wedges and serves straight from the skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying your meal.
