    Hi.. I love your web site. I am a vegetarian who does not eat eggs. It is so difficult to find good recipes for me. Please help!

    Wow, this was amazing. The whole family loved it. My 8 year old had no idea she was eating spinach. ;) Super easy to make too. Pretty sure this will be on the menu every week.

    What size skillet should I use? I can't tell from the picture and it's not in the instructions.

    Was pretty good... I'd say use a different cheese though... maybe a very old cheddar or parmigiano reggiano instead. Goat Cheese is too soft. Also, I'd recommend adding some bacon :P

    They don’t really explain what to do with the spinach so I decided to mix them with the eggs and OMG! It was delicious! This is more a mushroom and spinach quiche than a frittata but now it’s a favorite at home! *****

    I used it in a casserole dish and it worked just fine - I really don't think it matters as long as it's not spilling over when you put it in the oven.

    Great recipe! I used feta by mistake and it was still gorgeous. Can't wait to have it again!

    Since it is summer, I don't like to use the oven. Instead, I made egg muffins with this base in my air fryer. They taste great and freeze so well, the leftovers will become breakfast for busy work mornings!

    Thanks for your comment, I was afraid I didn't have the right skillet. It worked fine and it's one of my favorites recipes so far.

    It was a bit disappointing. I used goats cheese and didn't really taste anything. i'd use a stronger cheese. I liked the scallions though. I'd rather have a nice cheddar cheese omelette. Less effort more taste.

    I used feta too and added some chopped fresh mint. Absolutely scrumptious!

    Any preferable fruits for KETO diet???

    Marium, Generally fruits are going to be too high fructose and too high carb to have a place in a ketogenic diet. The exceptions are avocado, tomatoes and small quantities of berries. You will still have to keep an eye on carb count though!

    I think I had to at least double the time to get the eggs to get solid. Taste was good, but there was room for improvement. Stronger cheese, perhaps some pieces of bell pepper?

    I don't like goat cheese either and we used creme fraiche. It was amazing. Our favorite recipe yet.
