Spinach and Feta Frittata: avoid the back to school breakfast rush with eggs and Mrs. Dash

The morning rush to school has started. Since I’m the family bus driver, I’m up early, too, so I can have a quick breakfast, vitamins and coffee (and maybe a peek at the Denver Post) before we rush out the door.

I need to have protein in the morning, and eggs fit the bill. But there’s nothing more boring that scrambled eggs day after day. So I use cheese, vegetables, meats, and Mrs. Dash seasonings to jazz things up.

Egg tricks

No, I don’t juggle my eggs. (If I only could.) Instead, I use a few special tricks to make my morning egg dishes foolproof.

Use a non-stick pan and cooking spray so the food easily slides on to your plate.

Use medium-low to very low heat. Since I’m running around making sandwiches and coffee, getting the newspaper, and yelling at the kids to get a move on, I can’t be hovering over the stove at all times. When the eggs are nearly done, I turn off the burner (I have a glass top range) and let the residual heat keep things warm.

Use a lid. This is my husband’s trick. After you have your ingredients in the pan, cover with a lid, and lower the heat. This has the effect of steaming your eggs, which makes them light and fluffy. Since the lids that came with my pans are glass, I can keep an eye on things, too.

Use 1 whole egg and 3 tablespoons of egg whites. This helps reduce calories and fat grams

Experiment! Have fun using different types of cheeses, vegetables, meats (sausage, bacon or even deli slices) and Mrs. Dash seasoning blends. You can also use Mrs. Dash blends in scrambled eggs, omelets, egg salad, hard boiled eggs, or any other way you enjoy eating eggs.
