Easy Frittata Recipe

Low Carb and Delicious!

I love making an easy frittata recipe. Making a frittata is probably one of the simplest, yet most nutritionally balanced recipes you can make for yourself and your family. You can make a frittata from a huge variety of ingredients but for this one I had some leftover sundried tomatoes to use up. You never know when inspiration will strike! Necessity really is the mother of all invention!

If you don’t have a red bell pepper don’t sweat it, use yellow or orange or skip it altogether.

You could use tarragon or thyme or oregano instead of Italian seasonings.  I didn’t use salt and pepper because the cheese is plenty salty and the jalapeño in the Monterey Jack lends a pretty good fiery kick all on its own.

This is what I came up with.
