A slice has about 17g of protein and only 6g of carbohydrate for 267 calories. Most of the protein comes from the eggs and feta, and the vegetables add colour, fibre and vitamins.
Frittata or omelette? An omelette is cooked quickly and folded; a frittata is the Italian open version, cooked slowly and finished in the oven, so it can be sliced like a cake. That makes it ideal for feeding several people or for packed lunches.
Why it is tagged for blood sugar. With very little carbohydrate and plenty of protein, a slice of frittata is a breakfast unlikely to cause a sharp rise in blood sugar. Add a slice of wholegrain toast if you need more energy.
Cook the vegetables first. Spinach and peppers release water as they cook. Softening them before the eggs go in stops the frittata turning soggy.
Traditional feta is usually made with animal rennet, so check the label if you need it to be vegetarian. For other egg breakfasts, try the spinach, feta and red pepper egg muffins or the shakshuka with spinach.
