Breakfast: Wake Up Sunshine Frittata

Fancy a cooked breakfast but want to avoid the calories of a classic fry up? Our sunshine frittata is the perfect, low-calorie alternative! We’ve taken away the fatty bacon and added lean deli ham, with a hearty serving of mushrooms and tomatoes for added goodness!

Ingredients:

1tbsp coconut oil

100g chestnut mushrooms, sliced

4 medium eggs

10 cherry tomatoes

2 slices lean deli ham – chopped

1 tbsp finely grated parmesan

A few sprigs of basil (optional)

Method:

1. Heat a half of the coconut oil in a large non- stick frying pan and fry the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until brown and soft. Take them out of the pan and set aside.

2. Crack each egg into a ramekin or cup so you can drop each one into the pan easily. Heat the remaining coconut oil and gently add each egg into the pan around the edges and one in the middle, so all eggs join.

3. Avoiding the egg yolks, pop in the cherry tomatoes, scatter the cooked mushrooms, add ham, tear and add the basil, and grate over parmesan (optional).

4. Cook for 2 minutes until the egg whites have set.

5. Season and serve by taking the pan your table and let the whole family enjoy.
