If you want a brunch centerpiece that completely steals the show—and the hearts of your guests—look no further than the Mr. Steal Your Girl Layered Frittata. While it takes a little extra love and patience to build, the dramatic, multi-colored layered presentation is worth every single ounce of effort.
This culinary masterpiece is a vertical stack of four uniquely flavored frittatas, each carefully optimized to be light, fluffy, and incredibly lean. We start with a foundational layer of savory sautéed onion and grated zucchini. Next comes a bright, umami-rich layer infusing no-sugar-added marinara and fat-free Parmesan. Above that sits a layer packed with earthy, garlic-blanched greens, and the whole show is crowned with sweet green peas and fresh herbs. Perfect for a holiday brunch or a weekend cooking project, this showstopper delivers a symphony of garden flavors while keeping your blood sugar flat and your insulin levels perfectly in check.

| Layer 1: Onion & Zucchini | 15 | Very Low | Grated zucchini provides structure and volume with immense water and soluble fiber content. |
| Layer 2: Sugar-Free Marinara & Parm | 15–20 | Very Low | Delivers a rich, lycopene-packed tomato layer with zero added sugars to protect glucose levels. |
| Layer 3: Garlic & Blanched Greens | <15 | None | Spinach, chard, or kale provides magnesium, iron, and cellular antioxidants with virtually zero carbs. |
| Layer 4: Fresh Peas & Herbs | 51 | Low | Pops of fiber-rich peas add natural sweetness, safely anchored by the massive protein of the layers beneath. |
The Synergistic Effect: By stacking these nutrient-dense vegetables inside a massive, protein-forward egg white structural frame, you create a complex digestive matrix.

Ingredients
WTP Onion and Zucchini Frittata to Go
WTP Tomato Frittata a Go Go
WTP Take the Greens and Garlic Frittata and Go
WTP Frittata With Peas, Herbs and Parmesan
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 176 C. Line a small, 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch, bread pan with foil and spray the foil with olive oil. Make sure that the foil is tight against the bread pan. Place the bread pan in a larger baking pan.
-
Make the filling for the WTP Onion and Zucchini Frittata to Go. Beat the egg and egg whites in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, beat in the almond milk and stir in the onion and zucchini mixture. Heat the olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat and add the frittata mixture. Stir the mixture in the pan until it has the consistency of runny scrambled eggs, then scrape into the bread pan and spread in an even layer.
-
Next mix together the ingredients for the WTP Tomato Frittata a Go Go and proceed as above, transferring the mixture to the bread pan when it has reached the consistency of runny scrambled eggs and spreading in an even layer on top of the onion and zucchini layer.
-
Repeat with the WTP Take the Greens and Garlic Frittata and Go layering on top. (You can put your frittata layers in any order you prefer.)
-
Finally, mix up the WTP Frittata With Peas, Herbs and Parmesan. Smooth the top layer.
-
Fill the pan that the bread pan is sitting in halfway with hot water and place in the oven. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until the eggs are set. Remove from the oven and remove the bread pan from the water bath and allow to cool completely. Reverse onto a sheet of plastic wrap and carefully remove the foil. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and preferably overnight. Slice and serve cold.
