Jump to Recipe

Mediterranean Low Carb Easiest And Best Keto Frittata Recipe (formerly: Keto 2.0 Plus Easiest and Best Keto Frittata Recipe) tastes so good because it relies on high-fat, high-flavor ingredients, such as cheese, heavy cream, and savory meats. The recipe is “so good for you” within the context of a ketogenic diet, which offers potential benefits like appetite control and improved blood sugar regulation. 

It is important to note that “KETO 2.0 PLUS” is not a standard dietary term, but refers to recipe variations that build on the basic keto framework, often by increasing protein or incorporating more vegetables.  These principles have been employed by the use of massive amounts of research and are designed to make you, not only weigh less, but live longer and be much healthier than if you maintained eating the SAD (Standard American Diet), which has been reenforced by the government for over 70 years. Break free and enjoy a much healthier lifestyle.

What makes it taste so good:

Savory flavor base:

The rich, salty taste from ingredients like bacon, chorizo, and various cheeses creates a satisfying and full-bodied flavor profile.

Custardy texture:

Addingheavy cream, cottage cheese, or ricotta creates a silky, custardy texture that contrasts with the more typical, denser egg dishes.

Herb and spice blends:

Incorporating herbs like dill, basil, or oregano, along with spices like garlic powder, provides an aromatic depth that elevates the dish.

Fat-driven richness:

High-fat ingredients are central to the recipe and are key to its flavor. Sautéing vegetables in butter or avocado oil adds a rich, browned depth to the frittata’s texture and taste.

High-flavor toppings:

Toppings like sour cream, fresh herbs, or a little salsa can add a final burst of flavor and acidity to cut through the richness. 

Why it is considered “good for you” on a keto diet:

Customizable for health goals:

The basic frittata formula allows for easy customization to fit specific health needs. For instance, reducing cheese can lower calorie density, while swapping in different meats or vegetables can add a wider variety of nutrients. 

Low-carb, high-fat composition:

As a foundational keto recipe, the frittata is designed to be very low in carbohydrates while being rich in healthy fats and protein, encouraging the body to burn fat for fuel instead of glucose.

Rich in nutrients:

The egg base is a powerful source of vitamins, protein, and minerals. When paired with low-carb vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers, it provides a variety of essential nutrients.

Promotes fullness:

The combination of high-fat and high-protein ingredients in a frittata promotes satiety, helping to manage appetite and cravings.

Meal prep-friendly:

The ability to cook a frittata ahead of time for quick reheating makes it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan throughout the week, as it prevents opting for less healthy last-minute food choices. If you worry about getting out of ketosis, these frittatas are your best friend and they taste amazing!

To meal prep your Keto 2.0 frittata for flash freezing, whisk the ingredients, bake them in an air-fryer-safe pan, cool completely, slice, and freeze the portions individually on a parchment-lined tray before long-term storage. This specific Keto 2.0 method avoids heavy creams, focusing entirely on high-protein, nutrient-dense whole foods and healthy fats from the cheeses and bacon.

Equipment Needed:

• Air-fryer-safe cake pan or silicone liner (6 to 7 inches)
• Parchment paper or cooking spray
• Baking sheet for flash freezing

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:

Prep the Broccoli & Bacon:

Ensure your steamed broccoli florets are completely dry. If using frozen, thaw them first and press them firmly with a paper towel to remove excess water. Moisture is the enemy of a good freeze. Crisp up the \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup of diced bacon ahead of time and drain the grease.

Whisk the Egg Base:

In a large bowl, whisk the 6 large eggs vigorously until bubbles form. Whisk in the seasonings: 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, \(\frac{1}{2}\) tsp pepper, and \(\frac{1}{2}\) tsp chili flakes.

Fold in Fillings:

Stir in the dried broccoli florets, \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup chopped red pepper, cooked bacon, 4 oz crumbled feta, \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup shredded mozzarella, and \(\frac{1}{3}\) cup parmesan cheese.

Air Fry:

Line your air fryer pan with parchment paper or spray it heavily with oil. Pour he egg mixture into the pan. Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 15 to 18 minutes. The center should be set and slightly springy, not jiggly.

Flash Freezing & Storage Process:

[ Cook Frittata ] ➔ [ Ice-Cold Cool ] ➔ [ Portion Slice ] ➔ [ 2-Hour Flash Freeze ] ➔ [ Vacuum Seal / Bag ]

Cool Completely:

Allow the frittata to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then move it to the refrigerator for 1 hour. Slicing or freezing a warm frittata causes condensation, which creates large ice crystals and turns the eggs rubbery when thawed.

Slice into Portions:

Cut the cooled frittata into your preferred meal prep sizes (e.g., 4 wedges or squares).

The Flash Freeze:

Line a baking sheet with clean parchment paper. Arrange the frittata slices on the sheet so they do not touch each other. Place the baking sheet flat in your freezer for 2 hours until the slices are frozen solid.

Final Package:

Wrap each frozen slice tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place the wrapped slices together inside a heavy-duty freezer bag, squeeze out all excess air, label it with the date, and store for up to 3 months.

Reheating Instructions:

From frozen, you do not need to thaw. Pop a slice back into the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 6 to 8 minutesuntil the center is steaming hot and the cheese is remelted.
