This easy-to-make breakfast dish is not only a feast for the taste buds but also a nutritional powerhouse (bonus: it has lots of choline!). Packed with the goodness of eggs, onions, and leeks, this 3-serving frittata is a perfect, brain-healthy way to kick-start your day.

Why should you care about choline? Choline is an essential nutrient that contributes to cell membrane structure, neurotransmitter synthesis, liver health, DNA synthesis, fetal brain development, cardiovascular health, and muscle function. We love it for cognition and memory!

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1 medium-sized onion, thinly sliced
• 1 leek, washed and thinly sliced (use the white and light green parts)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk of choice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating up, take a moment to prepare your ingredients. Slice the onion and leek thinly.
2. In a non-stick oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and leeks to the skillet and sauté until they become tender and slightly caramelized. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. While the vegetables are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, and whisk the mixture until well combined. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
4. Once the onions and leeks are ready, spread them evenly across the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables.
5. Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 3-5 minutes, or until the edges start to set. This ensures a nice base for your frittata.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the frittata is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
7. Once the frittata is done, carefully remove it from the oven. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives. Allow it to cool.
8. Serve warm. Pairing it with a crisp breakfast salad is also a wonderful option!

There you have it – a hearty and nutritious start to your day. Enjoy!
