Carrot Noodle and Leek Frittata

Every year, for Mother’s Day, I remember we would make breakfast in bed for my mother. It was so much fun, preparing her breakfast. I don’t remember exactly what we would prepare for her (I was 7 or so), but I remember toast, cereal, and then my father would prepare the coffee.

I wasn’t making anything fancy like a frittata at 7 years old, but, now, if I was hosting a Mother’s Day brunch, I would definitely make a frittata like today’s, my Carrot Noodle and Leek Frittata!

One of my favorite ways to use spiralized veggies is in a frittata – it’s an easy way to pack in the veggies first thing in the morning and also makes “breakfast for dinner” much more satisfying.

If you can’t find carrots big enough to spiralize, you can swap in other veggies here – butternut squash, zucchini, sweet potato, and parsnip would work really well, too!

SO, if you’re looking for something to make your mama for Mother’s Day, try a spiralized frittata!

And this is our last blog post before the new cookbook comes out next week! I cannot BELIEVE it’s already here.

  • This looks delicious! Since carrots large enough to spiralize are tough to find, a couple of times I've bought frozen spiralized carrots that they have at Trader Joe's! It's amazing how far spiralizing has come, isn't it?
    • Hi Stephanie! Great idea, it is definitely amazing!
  • I'm really loving the theme/design of your web site. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A number of my blog readers have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any tips to help fix this problem?
