Breakfast is definitely Justin’s jam! Eggs are his favorite food, and he loves cooking up a hearty breakfast. He recently created this tasty, veggie loaded Mediterranean breakfast frittata. It’s got all your favorite Mediterranean flavors, like artichoke hearts and kalamata olives. Let’s dig in!
Why Make Breakfast Ahead Of Time?
We are huge proponents of make ahead breakfasts because they make eating a solid breakfast a no-brainer. If a premade option is convenient, people are more likely to make a good decision. As part of our meal plan subscription service, Real Simple Good Paleo Meal Plans, every weekly meal plan includes a make ahead breakfast. A large breakfast like this Mediterranean breakfast frittata is a great way to make a large batch breakfast that you can simply re-heat in the morning.
Veggie Filled Frittata
In addition to making breakfast ahead of time, we also love sneaking in lots of veggies. It’s a great way to start your day with a filling meal. In this Mediterranean breakfast frittata, we have loaded it with artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, red onion, tomatoes, spinach and fresh basil.

Interested in the concept of make ahead breakfasts, but need a little more inspiration? Here are several other great recipes to try! It doesn’t always have to be an egg casserole, and we’ve included some egg-free options too.
