Mozzarella and Zucchini Frittata

Deliciously Keto Mozzarella and Zucchini Frittata

Essential Ingredients for Your Keto Mozzarella and Zucchini Frittata

Embarking on the keto journey, one must choose foods wisely. Red Onion and Sun-dried Tomatoes sprinkle your dish with flavors, keeping carbs at bay. The heart of this frittata, Eggs, pack protein without the carb hit. Zucchini shines as a keto star, low in carbs yet rich in nutrients. A drizzle of Olive Oil and a sprinkle of Basil introduce healthy fats and freshness. Buffalo Mozzarella, creamy and satisfying, adds the perfect finish without carb overload.

Cooking Your Keto Mozzarella and Zucchini Frittata

Begin by heating the pan with olive oil over medium-high heat. You should add red onion and zucchini, cooking them until they become soft, which will take about 3 to 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, a pinch of salt, and ground black pepper. Pour this egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables and let it cook. You’ll need to lift the edges slightly, facilitating the uncooked eggs to spread underneath, cooking uniformly for about 2 minutes. At this moment, sprinkle buffalo mozzarella on top, allowing it to melt beautifully. Garnish your frittata with fresh basil leaves before serving. This not only adds a burst of color but also enriches the flavors, making each bite a delightful experience compatible with your keto dietary needs.

Keto Pairings & Nutritional Advantages

For those following a ketogenic lifestyle, pairing this keto frittata with a crisp salad dressed in olive oil and a hint of lemon juice enhances its appeal. Adding avocado offers a boost of healthy fats, making it an even more keto-aligned choice. The Keto Mozzarella and Zucchini Frittata stand out for its nutritional profile, balancing high-quality protein from eggs and mozzarella with beneficial fats from olive oil. Zucchini and sun-dried tomatoes add just the right touch of low-carb goodness, keeping the dish perfectly within keto dietary standards. It’s a meal designed to satisfy without overstepping carbohydrate limits, crucial for maintaining a state of ketosis.
