Seed Oil Free Basil & Oregano Egg and Greens Frittata
This skillet egg dish is the kind of meal that feels effortlessly impressive — golden on top, packed with tender zucchini, wilted spinach, and fragrant herbs, and finished under the broiler for that perfect set. The whole thing comes together in one oven-safe pan, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying your food. Cooking without seed oils can feel limiting when so many recipes default to canola or vegetable oil, but extra-virgin olive oil does a genuinely better job here — it carries the garlic and herbs beautifully and gives the vegetables a subtle richness as they soften. The basil gets folded right into the egg mixture before it hits the pan, so every bite is threaded with that bright, aromatic flavor rather than just scattered on top. Zucchini, scallion greens, baby spinach, and garlic build a savory, colorful base that makes this feel like a complete meal rather than a simple egg dish. A short rest in the pan before slicing keeps everything tidy and lets the frittata firm up into clean, satisfying wedges. Whether you serve it for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner, this is the kind of recipe you'll come back to again and again.
