Candida Diet Friendly Roasted Broccoli Herb Frittata
Eggs are one of the most reliable proteins when you're navigating a candida-conscious diet, and this frittata makes the most of them in the most satisfying way. Broccoli goes into a hot oven first, roasting until the edges are deeply browned and the stems are completely tender — that caramelized bite adds real depth to every slice. Fresh garlic, scallion greens, parsley, and thyme bring bold, herby flavor without leaning on anything fermented, vinegar-based, or sugar-laden that could derail your eating plan. The fresh mozzarella melts into soft, creamy pockets throughout, keeping the texture rich without any processed cheese or hidden additives to worry about. Everything comes together in a single skillet, finishing in the oven until the center is just set and the top turns lightly golden. It slices cleanly into four generous wedges and works just as well for a weeknight dinner as it does for a slow weekend brunch.

Chef's tipUse the same amount. It works well fresh in dishes like caprese, salads, and skewers. For pizza or baked dishes, choose a dairy-free mozzarella labeled for melting so it softens the way you'd expect.
