If you love easy frittata recipes, you have to check out this recipe for Avocado and Feta Frittata.

You can think of a frittata as the Italian version of the omelette. It’s open-faced and not folded over, like a conventional omelette is.

Unlike an omelette, the egg mixture is cooked over a very low heat until the underside is set but the top is still runny.

Then the egg mixture is flipped over or set under a broiler to cook the top layer. It’s a bit tricky, but learning to make an avocado frittata is worth it!

Try it out for Mother's Day or another brunch time get together.

Healthing up this avocado frittata

You can make this avocado frittata recipe even healthier by substituting liquid egg whites for some of the eggs. Just use 3 tablespoons of egg whites for one regular egg.

Another way to health up this avocado feta frittata dish is to use sundried tomatoes that aren’t packed in oil.

You’ll need to soften them up by soaking in hot water for 15 to 20 minutes or so before chopping them up for the recipe. 

While the avocado and feta frittata recipe shown in the picture is made in a cast iron skillet, there are all kinds of frittata pans that make frittata recipes much easier to make.

Also, a frittata pan makes a terrific Mother’s Day gift!
