Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ghee avocado oil, or fat of choice
  • 1 cup emergency protein whatever cooked meat you have on hand
  • 1 cup frozen broccoli or any leftover or frozen veggies
  • 4 large pastured eggs
  • 2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk or plain coconut yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon your favorite Nom Nom Paleo Spice blend or Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • Freshly-ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the toaster oven to 350°F and heat the ghee or fat of choice in an 8-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Add 1 cup of whatever leftover protein you have on hand to the skillet and stir-fry until heated through.
  • Meanwhile, place the frozen broccoli in a medium microwave-safe bowl, cover it with a wet paper towel and nuke it until it’s thawed. (Don’t want to use a microwave? Just toss it in some boiling water for a minute and drain.) Use a pair of kitchen shears or knife to cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add the broccoli to the ingredients in the pan and mix to cook thoroughly. 
  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, and add the coconut milk, your favorite Nom Nom Paleo seasoning blend or Diamond Crystal kosher salt, and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the bottom of the frittata is set.
  • Place the skillet in the oven. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, and then crank the heat up to broil for another 2 minutes or until the frittata puffs up and is cooked all the way through.
  • Carefully transfer the frittata to a plate, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • If you've got a leftover stir-fry with veggies and meat, just use 2 cups of it in this recipe in place of the emergency protein + frozen broccoli. I make frittatas all the time with leftover Egg Roll in a Bowl!
  • The frittata is delicious cold so it’s perfect for for packed lunches. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • My Whole30-compatible Nom Nom Paleo spice blends make healthy and delicious meals super easy and they're now available on Amazon, directly from The Spice Lab, and at iHerb (worldwide shipping)!
