Healthy Recipes for Obese Children

Some kids love savory flavors in the morning. This recipe makes enough for
two in a wide shallow soup bowl. When you sprinkle on the cheese, add the
kids’ favorite pizza toppings, such as thawed frozen vegetables and crumbled
cooked turkey bacon. If you have a few extra minutes, serve with toasted Italian bread brushed with olive oil.

Extra-virgin olive oil, for greasing the bowl

3 large eggs

1 1/2 tablespoons water

Pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup shredded (packed) part- skim mozzarella cheese (2 ounces)
or 2 slices fresh mozzarella

2 tablespoons prepared tomato sauce or Quick Skillet Tomato Sauce

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled

1. Lightly grease a 1-cup shallow soup bowl with extra-virgin olive oil. Add
the eggs, water, and salt and pepper and beat with a fork until blended. Place
in the microwave and cook at medium (50%) power for 2 minutes. Stir with
a fork and cook at medium power 1 minute more. (The eggs should be set but
very moist at this point.)

2. Sprinkle the cheese on top and spoon on the sauce. Season with oregano
and microwave at medium (50%) power for 1 minute (the cheese should be
melted and the eggs cooked through). Cut in half and serve.

Cooks’ Notes

• Add any cheese to top your frittata or stir in cubed cheese when the eggs are half cooked. Try adding cooked diced potato, meats, or vegetables in the eggs as well.

• All jarred sauces are not alike. Look for organic tomato sauce that does not contain sweeteners.
