Fructose Free Lemon Garlic Egg & Greens Frittata
Bright, herby, and packed with leafy greens, this frittata is the kind of effortless meal that works just as well for a lazy weekend brunch as it does for a quick weeknight dinner. The egg base gets a lift from fresh lemon zest and juice, giving every bite a clean, citrusy brightness that makes the whole dish feel lighter than you'd expect. Garlic-infused olive oil does the heavy lifting on flavor here — it delivers that savory, aromatic depth without relying on raw garlic, which is a smart move for anyone keeping fructose in check. Kale and baby spinach wilt down beautifully in the skillet before the eggs go in, so you get tender greens distributed throughout rather than a soggy mess. Using only the green tops of the scallions keeps things flavorful while avoiding the fructan-heavy white bulb that can cause trouble. The whole thing finishes in the oven until just golden and set, then rests briefly before slicing into clean wedges — no fuss, no complicated technique. Serve it straight from the pan with a squeeze of lemon and you've got a genuinely satisfying, gut-friendly meal that doesn't taste like a compromise.
