30 Minute Meal Prep Frittata and Quinoa Salad

Meal prep doesn’t always have to be a complicated endeavour. If you’ve got 20-30 minutes, you can have this weeks lunches taken care of (including clean up!) while you let the oven do most of the work for you. That’s one less thing to think about this week.

6 Ingredient Italian Frittata

A simple gluten and dairy free dish that can be prepped in under 10 minutes then the oven does the cooking. Perfect for an easy dinner or a meal prep dish! 

Prep Time10 minutes mins

Cook Time1 hour hr

Total Time1 hour hr 10 minutes mins

Ingredients

• 4 organic sausages (I used Cleavers Brand)
• 3-4 tbsp Dried Mixed Italian Herbs
• 3 cups organic spinach
• 1 cup chopped organic cherry tomatoes
• 1 onion, diced
• 10 eggs

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 180°C
• Cut sausages into small pieces and lightly brown in a touch of olive oil in a fry pan (about 5 minutes)
• Add all ingredients to a lightly greased dish 
• Bake in the oven for 50-60minutes

4. Take quinoa off heat, fluff with a fork and set aside. 

5. Simple Quinoa Salad

• Mix all ingredients together. Spoon into containers, leaving a space for frittata and add slice of lemon and avocado if you like (I find it best to wait til the day I’m eating it to cut avo but you can squeeze lemon juice on top to avoid browning for 1-2 days).

6. Wash up – (pan, saucepan, cutting board, blender etc – should only take a few mins).

8. Go put your feet up until frittata is done. Once it’s ready let it cool before slicing.

9. Slice fritatta and pop into containers with quinoa salad, lemon slice and avocado. Store them and the fridge and clean the last dish (yay for no big pile of dishes!).

Easy Right? You’ll get 4-6 Meals out of this depending on portion sizes.

Storage: Best eaten within 5 days (I find it tastes best up to 4 days).
