Paraben Free Basil & Oregano Egg and Greens Frittata
Eggs, garden herbs, and a skillet full of vibrant vegetables come together here in a way that feels both effortless and genuinely satisfying. Zucchini gets a quick sear until golden at the edges, then baby spinach wilts right into the pan alongside scallion greens and garlic, building a savory, layered base before the eggs ever hit the heat. Fresh basil is folded directly into the whisked eggs, and dried oregano seasons them through, so every single bite carries that bright, herby depth. The stovetop-to-broiler method is the real secret — a slow cook on medium-low sets the edges gently while the broiler finishes the top with just enough color to make it look like you really know what you're doing. Every ingredient here is a whole, recognizable food: eggs, olive oil, fresh produce, dried spices — nothing processed, nothing with a long chemical ingredient list to second-guess. For anyone navigating sensitivities to synthetic preservatives commonly found in packaged and processed foods, cooking from scratch with ingredients like these is exactly the kind of approach that takes the guesswork off the table. Slice it into wedges and serve straight from the skillet for a meal that works just as well at dinner as it does at brunch.
