Mold Detox Friendly Cilantro Lime Egg & Greens Frittata
Bright, herby, and deeply satisfying, this skillet frittata is the kind of meal that works just as well for a weeknight dinner as it does for a lazy weekend brunch. Eight eggs get whisked with cumin, turmeric, lime zest, and a splash of juice before being poured over a bed of wilted spinach, tender zucchini, and scallion greens — the result is a golden, fragrant slice that feels anything but boring. Supporting the body's natural detox pathways often means leaning on anti-inflammatory spices and clean, whole-food ingredients, and every single component here earns its place on that list. Turmeric and cumin bring warmth and depth while also doing quiet work behind the scenes, and the generous handful of fresh cilantro is a classic choice in protocols focused on clearing the system. The stovetop-to-broiler method keeps things simple and gives you those gorgeous lightly golden edges without any fuss. Sliced avocado alongside adds healthy fat that helps your body absorb the fat-soluble nutrients packed into all those greens. Serves four, and honestly, leftovers taste just as good straight from the fridge the next morning.

4 servings
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup water
- ½ tsp sea salt

Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
