    Broccoli Bacon Frittata Recipe | Sweet Caramel Sunday

    Broccoli Frittata for lunch on Sweet Caramel Sunday! This is a high protein frittata, packed with flavour and perfect to meal prep for the week ahead!

    Brocolli, Bacon and Cream Cheese Frittata

    Broccoli my friend

    Who would have ever thought Broccoli in a frittata would be something that I would rave about, but I am here to tell you IT IS SO GOOD!!! It is actually a Broccoli, Bacon and Cream Cheese Frittata, but I didn't want to scare you off with too many big words in the beginning. As you guys know I have been doing a few risottos recently, but the downside to that is carb overload! I felt it, recognised I needed a break and thought, hows about I go back to doing something I made a butt load of last year and dun, dun, dar.........here is my latest Frittata recipe.

    The best thing I find about making these, is that you can combine all of the ingredients in one bowl, stir then pour into your baking dish. You don't have to have a saucepan on the go as well as a fry pan and then another 50 pots and pans to clean up.

    Easy weeknights

    I definitely think these fall into the category of 'achievable cooking on a week night' as it is nice some nights to come home from work, then be able to spend some time in the kitchen. Otherwise, it is too easy to sit on the couch and let the hours fly by till bed time, then sleep, work, repeat.

    A little bit more about me

    Happy Sunday by the way! I spent some time at yoga, then needed to do some house work when I got in. For an unknown reason, Tonka, my cat or Sous Chef, thinks that the vacuum is going to suck him right up one day, so it always makes me a bit stressed when I pull it out, as I can literally see him go from cool, calm and collected cat, to hiding under the bed, ears flat for the next 5 hours.

    But, vacuum I did, and mop and then clean the outside windows with vinegar - how very productive of me!! I find cleaning one of those things though you procrastinate about doing it, you walk around after it is done, thinking 'wow, it looks so clean in here', then you make a toastie and drop some crumbs and think 'dang it, I just bloody vacuumed and here am I dropping crumbs everywhere'. But, house is clean, Tonka has emerged from under the bed, he is now in the room with me, curled up sleeping, on a pillow (not his bed, which is covered with a blanket and right next to the unpillow cased pillow), but he is at peace,  which makes me think that all is right in the world again.

    Simple and delicious

    So, this frittata hey. It is pretty simple, but is a great combination of ingredients and paired with some brown or basmasti rice is a great lunch or dinner option. This is another dish which freezes and then reheats well which makes a difference to your week and meal planning.

    Baking options

    If you don't have a baking dish that would work well for this recipe, I have also in the past made mini frittatas in muffin pans. (Makes no difference other than the size and shape of your portion).

    One last recommendation I will make is a Beetroot Powder Smoothie, yep, you read that right! I made a change recently to my typical breakfast go to smoothie and came up with this winning combination. The frozen fruits ensure that the smoothie is not too over powered by the Beetroot Powder and you can almost feel the vitality from the 1st sip! That recipe can be found here.

      This looks like such a great comforting egg dish. I love all the ingredients in here and we are more likely to have a frittata for supper than breakfast. Breakfast is reserved for over easy eggs or Frosted Flakes. lol.
