Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Spaghetti Frittata
This slow cooker spaghetti frittata makes a satisfying supper, especially when served with a green salad. It would also be delicious for breakfast, brunch or lunch.
Made with bits of chopped pepperoni or ham, peas and cooked spaghetti, it's held together with beaten eggs and is a delicious way to celebrate National Egg Month!
Did you know that May is National Egg Month?
I didn't until I was contacted by the folks at Eggland's Best Eggs about participating in their Eggland's Best Recipe Contest.
I'm a big fan of eggs. They are easy, healthy, delicious and extremely versatile. And now they're on the Weight Watchers Zero Points Food List!
I may be an outlier among Weight Watchers - a woman who eats mostly whole eggs instead of egg whites and/or egg white based egg products!
Did you know that the majority of vitamins and nutrients of an egg are found in the yolk?
Compared to ordinary eggs, EB eggs have:
- Four times more vitamin D
- More than double the omega-3s
- Ten times more vitamin E
- 25% less saturated fat
Skinny on Slow Cooker Spaghetti Frittata

We love to make a breakfast casserole with spinach, feta cheese, and turkey bacon! We made a video of the recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhSsl7NJhRs
BTW...I can't wait to try your recipe! It looks amazing and simple at the same time. 🙂

I am a quiche lover. I like spinach in my quiche. I also will switch it up and do a meat and cheese quiche. Great quick easy meals any time of the day.

Can you just cook this in a pie plate in the oven? If so please provide the oven temperature and time it takes to cook?
Can you freeze left overs?

Hi Diane, I haven't tried it in the oven, but am sure it should work fine. I'd bake it at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, and top is puffed and golden brown. Hope this helps. ~Martha

Could you use fresh red bell pepper?
