I am enjoying the day off due to Snowmageddon and this Frittata is going to help keep my energy up enough to shovel out all the snow. While it does have cheese it can easily be removed for Paleo diets. Hope all my other east coast people are staying warm!
Directions: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Microwave squash and 1/4 cup water in covered dish for 5 minutes. In a bowl whisk eggs, egg whites salt and pepper and set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the onion and garlic saute’ for approximately 2 minutes. Add the spinach, increase heat and cook until the spinach reduces in moisture.
Incorporate the squash and cook an additional two minutes.

This looks delicious!! It has been quite awhile since I had a frittata and I really like that you used different ingredients than what I would have thought to use!
Thank you. They are so easy to re-heat too. Perfect for lazy mornings.
Another hit!!! I haven’t made butternut with anything but this sounds so good!! xo, Biana
Oh girl then you need this in your life! Very similar to spaghetti squash or sweet potato.
OMG I’ve been looking for another recipe to try Butternut squash with and this sounds soooo good! Thanks for sharing. I need to go to the store now, lol.
It is really good, I’ve been having it for breakfast every morning. Filling but also light too. Sure, sure rub it in that you can go outside! Hahaha!
This looks really good. I like the feta…the salt must give it a great savory element that complements the sweetness of the squash.
Thank you. Feta and Spinach are my favorites! It really brings out all the flavors!
Looks yummy. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing and good luck shoveling !
Thank you. Perfect for leftovers too. Thank you. It is going to be a long day! Hope you are not caught in it too.
That looks so good and I love the very healthy dosing of cheese added 😉
Haha! Right! I tried to resist but cheese really does make everything better!
I’m actually not even sure if I like butternut squash but this looks like it would be so good. What a good dish to make for a brunch/lunch get together too!
It is very similar to sweet potato. Yes, very good make ahead dish!
This looks DELISH! Hope you’re staying safe and warm up there 🙂
Thank you. I had it again for lunch. It is freezing!!! You were smarty to leave!! haha!
Love the ingredients you used! I need to start making frittatas instead of quiches to eliminate the crust.
Thanks, yes they are so much healthier than a quiche. So good too.
Yuummmmm.
Thank you. So filling, and healthy.
Delicious and healthy! I love spinach and squash together, add eggs and I’m in heaven.
Perfect combo, and healthy is a total win for me.
You always know the way to my heart! Spinach and butternut squash are two of my favorites….among many!
I love spinach but I don’t use it enough. Love to throw it in the most random recipes. 😉
you had me at spinach and frittata. seriously, frittatas are my jam. never put squash in one though.
The best flavor combo, right! So good, try it!
Mmm, anything with butternut squash and I’m sold! I’ve never made a frittata before but this one looks too easy!
Butternut squash is so good. It is so easy, and cook once and meals for the week! 😉
Oh yum! This sounds wonderful!
Thank you. I have some leftovers today! 🙂
Every time you post a recipe, I get annoyed that I have to cook for other people because this is something I would totally enjoy while, sadly, the family would not and I hate feeling like I’m a restaurant. Although. I can make this for lunch one day while they’re not home…
Or just make it for yourself and have it for lunch for the week! 😉
Ummmmm, this sounds amazing! xoxo
Thank you. It made me crave leftovers.
This sounds delicious!
Thank you. It was a nice dish for breakfast.
omggg I am DROOLING over here. You’ve had the best recipes !!
Thank you!! I hope you give it a try!
Looks sooo delicious!! I’m going to try and make this dish this weekend!
You’ll have to tell me how you like it!
ooh i wish i liked eggs so i could enjoy this! it’s got some of my faves! i love spinach and squash and CHEESE!
Oh that is a bummer. I am not sure of anything else that could help bind them together.
Oh this looks incredible! Given that I live in a four month snowmageddon in Sweden, I’m always on the lookout for cosy, healthy recipes, and will definitely give these a go – thanks!
Four months?? We had a light Winter until this past blizzard and I’m over it already! Haha! This really helps for those days in.
That looks so good!! Hope you made it through the blizzard ok. I was thinking of you when I saw on the news how much snow you got. I think we got like 25 inches. The city is a mess and the streets are not plowed that well at all. Then you have these massive snow banks all over the place. Walking and/or driving is not fun.
Thank you. It was brutal, I ended at about 32 inches. The snow banks are the worst because you can’t see around them at all.
This looks SO good! Would you say the squash makes the fritatta watery at all?
No, not at all. It is very similar to adding potato just healthier. It firms up rather nicely.
Yum! I’ve never made a frittata but I’ve always wanted to! You have inspired me to give it a try 🙂
That is great news. It’s not as hard as it may seem. Very similar to an omelette.
This looks yummy and helathy!! Great post!
Thank you. Yes, very healthy and I loved having leftovers!
OMG delicious!!!!!
Thank you.
I am really addicted to butternut squash. As many times as I have used sweet potatoes in my fritattas, never thought to use squash, good idea!!!
It was so good and now I am addicted to frittatas. You should totally try it!
Yum, I would try this!
I want to make so many more combinations of frittatas now!
Pinning as usual!! Looks healthy and yummy all at the same time!
Thank you. Healthy and really tasty. I want to make more now!
yum this sounds so good. i’ve never made a frittata!
Oh, you should try it. Perfect quick breakfast with the leftovers.
So good. I’d love to have some right now.
I want to make more too. I think you should try it! 🙂
Spinach, feta and mozz?! SIGN ME UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!
I figured you would like that one! 🙂
