Breakfast, Small Plates | December 13, 2017 | By

This simple keto frittata is loaded with good stuff and you’ll never miss the potatoes.

My wife Lisa is the master at the low-carb breakfast. Ever since we honeymooned in Spain, my wife and I have always appreciated a great frittata. The Barcelona Wine Bar in West Hartford, CT is where we usually go to get our frittata fix, complete with a dollop of fresh sour cream. Those off-the-rails carbs however are usually reserved for the weekend. 

This Killer Keto Frittata makes a great late night snack after a night out with friends – we’re too old for Denny’s!

Back to breakfast! You can adjust the ingredients to your taste and you can swap out one veggie for another – same goes for the cheeses. I’ve included my favorites below – pick two or three and go for it.
