Normally for Christmas morning, I make monkey bread for my family. You know that sweet, sticky pastry that is made up of little balls of dough, covered in cinnamon and a caramel sauce. After bariatric surgery that is no longer a great option. It’s important to have a healthy, high protein option to go along with the monkey bread. This Christmas frittata is full of red and green bell peppers and makes a festive addition to any breakfast or brunch table during the Holidays. If your Bell Peppers and onions are cooked well this is a great option for Phase 3.
