Recipe: The Giant Frittata

This giant breakfast recipe is perfect for feeding the whole family in one pan! This high protein breakfast is filled with vegetables and flavor!

This giant frittata really earns its name! This is a perfect, fulfilling dish that allows you to feed the entire family a healthy breakfast with only one pan. I love the combo of these veggies, it makes it a perfect vegetarian friendly recipe! Parmesan Cheese is used in this frittata because its intense flavor allows you to use less cheese (which equals less calories and fat) than you would if using more mild choices like Cheddar or Monterey jack. The harder and more aged the Parmesan is, the more flavor it will pack, so grabbing a decent brand will definitely pay off.
