A Healthy Holiday Brunch

Frittata
This frittata is packed with vegetables and only uses 3 egg yolks making it super low in fat and cholesterol. Although it is typically a breakfast item, it can easily be transformed into dinner with the right accompaniments. Try it along side a green salad, some crusty Italian bread and a nice red wine. Enjoy!

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 cup potato, boiled and sliced thinly
• ½ cup onion, chopped
• 1 package of frozen chopped spinach
• 4 egg whites, lightly beaten
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
• ½ tsp hot sauce
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• Cooking spray
• 1 small tomato, chopped
• ¼ cup part-skim mozzarella, shredded

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium and sauté potato and onion together until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside. Prepare the spinach according to directions and set aside. In a large bowl combine eggs, grated cheese, hot sauce, salt, pepper, spinach and potato and onion mixture. Wipe down skillet and coat with cooking spray. Place skillet over medium heat until hot. Add egg mixture and cook until almost set. Wrap handle of skillet with foil and broil for 2 minutes. Top with chopped tomato and broil for 1 minute. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and broil for 30 seconds or until cheese melts. Cut into wedges and serve warm. Makes 4-6 servings.

Citrus Salad
Citrus is in season this time of year so take advantage of all the different types. Combine slices of oranges, blood oranges and pink grapefruit for a bright and refreshing salad. Use lemon or lime juice combined with honey for a simple dressing and enjoy.

Turkey Bacon
Lay strips of turkey bacon on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 400 degree oven until crispy, about 15-20 minutes. Baking the bacon is healthier and much less messy than frying!

Passion Fruit Mimosas
Combine your favorite sparkling wine with passion fruit nectar for a tasty twist on a mimosa. Delicious!

Happy Holidays!!
