PREPARATION OF THIS HEALTHY RECIPE
The idea behind a frittata is that the edge should be roasted while the center fully cooked but not too dry. To accomplish this, sear the eggs in a hot frying pan then place in the oven.
Preheat oven to 350.
Step 1: Cook spinach on high heat until wilted and water boiled off.
Step 2: Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl. Beat the egg mixture vigorously to whip air into it, which will create a fluffier product.
Step 3: Chop spices. Fold spinach, spices, and all ingredients gently into the egg mixture.
Step 4: Heat a well greased cast iron skillet until a drop of water dances on the surface. The pan should be hot enough so that the egg sizzles immediately upon contact. Add the egg mixture. Immediately place in preheated the oven.
Bake twenty minutes or until egg begins to brown.

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Savory, aromatic, and light, the Greens & Fresh Herb Frittata is a rustically nourishing way to begin your morning. Transport yourself to a wide, tiled-floor kitchen overlooking lush Italian countryside as you dig into this hearty, yet light dish. Bright, fresh herbs awaken your sleepy cells as eggs provide the energy you need to make it through a busy day. Deceivingly simple, a frittata gives the impression that you spent the morning slaving away in the kitchen. We won't tell how easy it was if you won't!
Breakfast of Champions
Eggs are a perfect breakfast food. The whites are a great source of protein, while egg yolks are a hearty and nourishing tonic that pacifies Vata. Egg yolks are heating, and mildly aggravating to Pitta, and high in cholesterol so can become problematic for Kapha when consumed in excess. That said, this recipe has bright green herbs, fresh spinach, and is dairy free, so makes for a healthy breakfast. If you tend to run hot, swap heating spinach for cooling swiss chard and enjoy.
Spring Greens
Parsley was revered for is medicinal potency long before it was eaten as a food. Native to the central Mediterranean region, the herb was sacred to the ancient Greeks. Parsley allows for water excretion without the loss of electrolytes, a process known as aquaresis. Its hot and dry qualities are helpful for draining excess Kapha in the spring when your body is naturally letting go of winter weight.
Volatile oils in parsley help to tone the uterus or bring on a late menses. In addition, parsley increases the body's ability to absorb manganese, a key ingredient to help build bone. From an Ayurvedic view parsley, like all digestives, helps freshen breath.
Time for Thyme
Thyme is an herb so common that it gets overlooked. Thyme is used heavily in French and Italian cooking, and finds its way occasionally into the Joyful Belly repertoire. It is both aromatic and medicinal- thyme tea has been used to stop gastric fermentation. How convenient for spring-seasonal thyme to aid your digestion and keep it moving so that you may enjoy the Greens & Fresh Herb Frittata symptom free.
