So you remember how I told you I was doing Weight Watchers and hubby decided to start the Atkins program? Well, when I said it would take my cooking to a new level, I wasn’t kidding. I’m all about veggies, low fat, tons of flavor and counting points. He is all about no to low carb, meat, protein, full fat, and cheese to name a fews. This makes for huge challenges in the kitchen. This past weekend, I wanted to make a breakfast frittata but didn’t want to use two pans. Similar to my Two-In-One quiche, I made a breakfast frittata that satisfied both our dietary needs while not using every pan in the cupboard.

I could probably call this the “Compromise Frittata” since we both had what we wanted in this breakfast dish.  He got his meat and cheese and my side was full of veggies, low fat cheese and goat cheese.  I think one of the best parts of this dish is that I got to use leftovers I had in the fridge. I had just a few mushrooms left, part of a chicken breast, spinach and other bits and pieces of previous meals that went right into this. No wasted food at all and it was very satisfying.

Ingredients

• 1/4 Medium red onion (chopped)

• 6 cherry tomatoes (sliced in half)
• 1 cup fresh spinach (rough chopped)
• 4 Medium white mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In an oven safe medium skillet, add the olive oil and heat on medium heat. Add the onions, tomatoes, broccoli and spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted. Salt and Pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Layer the mushrooms over the top of the veggie mix. Add the chicken to one half of the frittata and crumble the goat cheese on the other half. Mix the regular eggs with the liquid eggs and pour on top of the frittata evenly. Add the Chipotle cheese on top of the chicken half and the weight watchers cheese on top of the goat cheese half. Bake, uncovered for 30 minutes.

A bunch of ingredients, a lot of compromise and what resulted was a breakfast dish we BOTH loved. This would work if you have a house full of picky eaters, but won’t work if one person is vegetarian and one is not. Or if one person had a food allergy of some sort. But, if you have differences of food preferences, then this would work out great. And, you would only have one dish to wash! Who can say no to that?
