The Popeye Frittata

A fritatta like this is a great make-ahead breakfast. Put it together while your making dinner the night before, and you can just pop a slice into the microwave in the morning, and get rolling out the door!

4 eggs
3/4 cup cooked chopped spinach (1 pkg. of frozen spinach)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
1 tbs. margarine
4 chopped green onions
1 tbs. chopped hazelnuts, walnuts or sesame seeds

Beat eggs. Combine with spinach (make sure it’s well squeezed first!), parsley or cilantro, garlic and sea salt. Saute the green onions in a medium oven proof frying pan, using the margarine. When the onions are slightly wilted, add the egg mix. Cook over a high heat until the egg starts to set up, shaking constantly to prevent burning. Finish under a broiler for several minutes. Top with the chopped nuts. Makes 2 servings.

A couple of years ago, I started following a 40/30/30 diet plan (aka "Zone Diet"). In the beginning, I had a lot of trouble putting together meals that had the right proportions. For one thing, I had "The Nut Problem". It seemed like every other Zone recipe that I found would end in something like "Eat with 18 peanuts on the side" or "Add 5 almonds".

Now don't get me wrong, I like nuts. They're healthy, and they make a convenient snack. But the problem is that Read more
