This delectable frittata has earned its place not only for its mouthwatering flavor but also for its dietary flexibility, often appealing to followers of the paleo and keto lifestyles. With a focus on high-quality, protein-rich ingredients, the dish caters to those looking to align their eating habits with their fitness and wellness objectives.
