Hazelnut Free Lemon Garlic Egg & Greens Frittata
Bright, garlicky, 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 combination of baby spinach and kale gives every slice a gorgeous color and a satisfying, earthy depth, while lemon zest and fresh lemon juice keep the whole thing tasting light and lively. Garlic-infused olive oil does the heavy lifting on flavor without requiring you to chop a single clove, and the parsley stirred right into the egg mixture adds a fresh, herby note throughout. For anyone navigating nut allergies, frittatas can actually be a surprisingly tricky category — restaurant versions sometimes include nut-based pestos or toppings that sneak in without much warning. This one keeps things clean and straightforward, relying entirely on eggs, fresh vegetables, and pantry staples you can easily verify. The stovetop-to-oven technique gives you perfectly set, golden edges without any rubbery texture, and the whole thing slices into neat wedges that look genuinely impressive straight from the pan. Serve with an extra squeeze of lemon and you have a complete, satisfying dish that feels far fancier than the effort involved.
