I don’t think there’s any dish, other than the frittata, that works perfectly for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Frittatas are a cinch to pull off because, unlike with omelets, there’s no flipping involved, and most of the cooking takes place in the oven. When the frittata is done, you can cut it into wedges and serve it straight out of the pan.
There are endless frittata variations that are delicious, and frittatas are a great way to use up wilting vegetables. This recipe, which calls for yogurt and herbs, is delicate and light, low in calories and in carbohydrates. The basil makes it fragrant.
If you’re having a frustrating day of high blood sugar, and you can’t figure out what to eat – the frittata is your answer. I recommend a green salad to go along with it.
