Paleo Turmeric Ginger Egg & Greens Frittata
This frittata is the kind of dish that makes a strong case for eating more eggs — golden, fragrant, and packed with leafy greens in every single bite. Fresh-grated turmeric and ginger bloom in hot olive oil before the kale and spinach even hit the pan, building a warm, earthy base that dried spices alone just can't replicate. The double hit of both fresh and ground turmeric and ginger means the flavor is layered and bold without relying on anything processed or off-limits. Everything in here — eggs, olive oil, greens, scallions, and spices — is exactly the kind of whole-food ingredient list that makes grain-free, dairy-free eating feel genuinely satisfying rather than like a compromise. The stovetop-to-oven method gives you beautifully set edges and a custardy center that slices cleanly into wedges, making it just as easy to serve for a relaxed weekend brunch as it is to meal-prep for the week ahead. A handful of fresh parsley scattered on top at the end adds a bright, herby finish that ties the whole thing together.
