Ingredients

Sautéed Veggies

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Olive or Avocado Oil
  • 2 Cups Butternut Squash cut into 1/3 - 1/2" cubes
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion diced
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • Fresh-Cracked Black Pepper to taste

Frittata

  • 6 Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Whole Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 Cup Salted Butter melted
  • 3/4 Cup Grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 Cup Finely Chopped Spinach packed
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 Tsp Dried Parsley
  • 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 Tsp Fresh-Cracked Black Pepper

Topping

  • 1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese or more, if you'd like

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Begin by prepping all of your vegetables as directed in the recipe.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the all of the ingredients in the "Frittata" section and whisk together until creamy.
  • In a cast iron skillet or other oven-safe pan, add in 1 1/2 tbsp of olive or avocado oil, and bring to medium-low heat. Add in the butternut squash and onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. You'll know the butternut squash is ready if it can be pierced with a fork with some difficulty. Meaning, it shouldn't be easy to pierce it with a fork, but it should be able to go through with a little force. Basically, you want the squash to be al dente!
  • Turn off the heat on the stove. Pour in the frittata mixture to the skillet, and gently stir it a few times, incorporating the butternut squash and onions into the mixture. Then, top the frittata with the 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the frittata for 10-15 minutes, or until the top has just started to brown.
  • When done, take it out of the oven and let it rest for AT LEAST 20-30 minutes so it can fully set.
  • Serve, and enjoy!
