Ingredients:

½ teaspoon olive oil

¼ red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

1/8 onion, thinly sliced

½ garlic cloves, minced

½ small potato, cooked and thinly sliced

½ teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 large egg

2 egg whites

Sea salt to taste

Directions:

Preheat the broiler. Heat the oil in a small nonstick skillet with an ovenproof handle over medium heat. Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Stir in the potato and thyme; cook, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes.

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg whites and salt; pour over the vegetable, stirring gently to combine. Reduce the heat and cook, without stirring, until the eggs are set, 4-6 minutes. Place the frittata in the skillet under the broiler and broil until the top is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

    How do you cook the potato to prepare it for use in this recipe?

    • Laura Agbonkhese

      Christian,
      Great question! There are two methods that can be used to cook the potato for this. If you have a little more time, follow the Roasted Potatoes recipe. For a quicker method simply place the potato in a pot of boiling water and cook until a fork is inserted easily into the center of the potato. Cool the potato before slicing. I will include these instructions within the recipe. Thanks!

    Can you replace fresh thyme with dried? How about the other recipies? Must all herbs be fresh?

    Laurel,
    Fresh herbs are always best when doing a Candida program because mold can grow on the herbs as they dry. It really depends upon your level of Candida. I would recommend fresh over dried and you can always buy fresh and freeze dry them yourself to be stored and kept on your spice shelf.
