Southwest Frittata
This frittata is full of salsa flavors and enriched with cheese. I like to serve this with breakfast sausage, either as a side, or pre-cooked and mixed in with the frittata filling for a full meal.

Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut cream or heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons fresh cracked pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin ground
- splash hot sauce optional
- 1/2 cup canned roasted chopped green chiles
- 2 green onions sliced
- 1/2 cup chunky salsa drained in a fine mesh strainer
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese optional, omit for dairy-free or use Daiya brand cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF and grease a pie plate with a bit of butter or oil. Set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper. Add in the hot sauce, chopped chilis, green onions, drained salsa, cheese, and cilantro. Stir to combine then pour into the prepared pie plate and bake for 20-30 minutes at 375ºF, or until set. Allow the frittata to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Note: You can also bake these in muffin tins. To do this, divide the frittata mixture evenly among 12 well greased muffin cups. Bake until they are just set in the middle, about 10-15 minutes. The tops will be slightly puffed. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes before removing from tins.
