Power Greens Frittata with Spinach Pesto Recipe

Power Greens Frittata is what it sounds like ~ a nutrient rich dish that satisfies so many needs. Frittatas are great to serve for a quick breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. These baked eggs are wonderful way to add heaps of veggies into a meal too! Scroll down for the full recipe.

In this recipe, we spruce up the traditional frittata up by adding delicious homemade spinach pesto on top. Living in Colorado, it can be hard to find some of the fresh herbs in store during the winter season. Swapping basil for spinach was an easy swap for the traditional basil pesto. It created a little sweeter and mild tasting pesto flavoring to dollop on the eggs.

Earthbound Farm has been my saving grace. During the winter, I turn to EBF when I don’t have access to local farmers markets. Earthbound Farm greens are non-GMO, organic, better for the environment, and have a higher quality taste.  One of our favorite things they do: if you open the packaging you can see they’ve printed farmer stories — it is almost as if you get to meet the farmer who grew your food at local farmers markets!

As we shared in our Gluten Free Breakfast Tortilla Hack recipe, Earthbound Farm Power Greens is a mix of baby spinach, red and green chard, and baby kale. This specialty blend is packed with vitamins and minerals – 50% of your daily vitamin A, 60% of daily vitamin C, 10% daily calcium, and 15% daily iron. 

In addition, Earthbound Farm’s 5 ounce box of spinach is filled with 160% of your daily Vitamin A needs. Vitamin A protects your eyes from age-related decline, supports a strong immune system, bone health, and reduces risk to acne.

Now that you know why you should enjoy this nutrient packed breakfast… Here’s how to make it! And when you do – don’t forget to tag @CurryGirlsKitchen #CurryGirlsKitchen and @EarthboundFarm #EarthboundFarm on social media ◡̈
