Lazy Sunday Keto Fritatta
I'm calling this lazy because I was really trying to make a crust-less quiche, but didn't want to turn on the oven. I also did not even bother to crack the eggs in a separate bowl and blend them together with the wet ingredients. I cracked the eggs in a separate bowl because no one wants shell pieces in their food, but I just dumped the whole eggs into the pan with the vegetables and dairy products already in it. Stirring everything together works the eggs well enough. This is high protein and fat, with low carbs. It's also a set it and forget it for an hour while it cooks on the stove-top. I hope you enjoy!

Additional thoughts:
A lot of water cooked out of the ingredients and was sitting on top of the Fritatta. After it was set up or near set, I took the lid off the egg mixture and let the water evaporate. I don't usually like leftover egg recipes like this the next day, but I made this for lunch every day for the week. It's approved by me for leftovers, which I'm happy about, since I'm a picky eater.
