This recipe utilises precision-fermented egg proteins—a sustainable, animal-free innovation that provides high-quality protein without the cholesterol, making it an excellent choice for heart health and metabolic stability.
Precision-Fermented "Egg" Frittata
Ingredients
- Precision-fermented egg liquid: 1 ½ cups (equivalent to 6 eggs)
- Sun-dried tomatoes: ¼ cup (dry-packed, chopped)
- Fresh spinach: 2 cups (packed)
- Red onion: ¼ small, thinly sliced
- Nutritional yeast: 1 tbsp (for savoury depth)
- Avocado oil: 1 tsp (for the pan)
- Herbs: Fresh basil and black pepper to taste
Instructions & Method
- Sauté: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In an oven-safe non-stick skillet, sauté the onions and spinach in avocado oil until the spinach is wilted.
- Mix: Whisk the precision-fermented egg liquid with nutritional yeast and black pepper.
- Pour: Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet.
- Bake: Cook on the stovetop for 2 minutes to set the bottom, then transfer to the oven for 10–12 minutes until the centre is firm.
- Serve: Let it cool slightly, top with fresh basil, and slice.
Tips for Diabetes Prevention
- Glycemic Control: Precision-fermented proteins are typically free of carbohydrates, preventing the "sugar spikes" associated with flour-based breakfasts.
- Lycopene Boost: Sun-dried tomatoes are rich in lycopene; pair them with a healthy fat (like the avocado oil used here) to maximise absorption, which supports vascular health.1
- Fibre Pairing: Serve this with a side of sliced avocado or a small green salad to further slow glucose absorption.
- Check the Label: Ensure your "egg" liquid isn't high in added starches or sodium, which can impact blood pressure and insulin response.
