Pregnancy Friendly Lemon Garlic Egg & Greens Frittata
Eggs and leafy greens are two of the most nutrient-dense foods you can reach for right now, and this frittata brings them together in a way that feels genuinely satisfying rather than just virtuous. Baby spinach and kale wilt down into a tender, savory base, while garlic-infused olive oil adds deep flavor without any raw garlic — a smart swap that keeps things gentle and delicious. Bright lemon zest and a squeeze of fresh juice lift the whole dish, cutting through the richness of the eggs with just enough citrusy freshness. The eggs are cooked all the way through — the recipe calls for reaching an internal temperature of 160°F — which is exactly what you want when you're being mindful about food safety. Scallion greens and fresh flat-leaf parsley round out the flavor without overwhelming anything, making every bite clean and herby. It comes together in one oven-safe skillet, which means minimal cleanup and a beautiful golden top straight from the oven. Serve it in wedges with an extra lemon wedge on the side and you've got a meal that works just as well for a quiet lunch as it does for a weekend brunch.
