Cook Up This Green Persian Frittata (aka Kuku Sabzi) for an Immunity-Boosting Take on Breakfast-for-Dinner
Is this not the greatest hack of adulthood? Well, we've got news: You can take your dinnertime special up a notch with this Persian-inspired green frittata recipe from Marissa Meshulam, RD.
"This recipe is a Persian play on a frittata, however, the flavor and texture is heightened by increasing the ratio of herbs and veggies," she says. "It's a great meal-prep option, as it will stay good in the fridge from Sunday night to Friday morning."
Giving your meals some variety is already a weekday dinner win, but this frittata recipe also does a solid for your immunity—starting with the eggs themselves.
"Eggland’s Best eggs are richer in a variety of micronutrients compared to ordinary eggs, such as six times more vitamin D, 10 times more vitamin E, and more than double the vitamin B-12 and omega-3s," says Melina Jampolis, MD, internist and board-certified physician nutrition specialist. And while most people eat plenty of calories, fat, and protein, many of us are deficient in these key micronutrients, which are essential for a strong immune system, Dr. Jampolis says.

"And even better, they are a super cost-effective source of high-quality protein, and a little fat that enables optimal absorption of these nutrients," she adds. (This is what being impressed by a carton of eggs feels like.)
It doesn't stop there, either: The recipe also calls for dill, parsley, cilantro, spinach, onion, and turmeric, which are all phytonutrients rich in antioxidants, Meshulam says. "Spinach is high in zinc, which is a mineral known to aid white blood cells in their defense against illness." So, it's like health in a frittata.
It's safe to say breakfast-for-dinner secures the prestigious title of most important meal of the day—so keep scrolling for the full recipe and step-by-step instructions. All for making frittata Fridays a thing, say "aye."
