New Favorite Food At Trader Joe’s
I have a new favorite food that I buy at Trader Joe’s, though I’m quite fond of many of their grocery items.
Last time I was buying groceries there, I came upon Trader Joe’s Egg Frittatas in the frozen food section.
I decided to try them and was instantly smitten. Now when I am buying groceries there, I sometimes buy every box of egg frittatas that they have in stock!
What Is In Them:
Trader Joe’s egg frittatas is 41% egg and 25% Swiss cheese. It includes cauliflower and fried onions. The supplier uses egg whites, whole eggs, and whey protein concentrate for about 12 grams of protein.
Cauliflower is my least favorite vegetable. But I could not taste it or see it in the egg frittatas.
Combined, the two egg frittatas in the box contain about 270 calories and 25 grams of protein.
Trader Joe’s Egg Frittatas are also gluten-free.
To Cook Trader Joe’s Egg Frittas:
To cook in your oven straight from your freezer, simply remove the desired amount from the plastic wrapper and place on a baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until hot.
Trader Joe’s frittata can also be cooked in an air fryer at 350 degrees for 3-6 minutes (depending on how done you like your eggs cooked).
Or to cook the frittatas in a microwave, remove frittata(s) from wrapper. Place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave until fully heated.
I like to cook them in my countertop convection oven because they come out browned and crispy. And they’re ready in less time than an oven can cook them.
When I’m rushed and hungry, I will cook two of these egg frittatas and serve them with a tossed salad or a bowl of mixed fruit.
I love breakfast and could eat breakfast staples at every meal!
Yesterday I ate two egg frittatas and ate them with a bowl of sliced mango, strawberries, and pineapples. And it was so delicious!
If you like egg frittatas, the Trader Joe’s version is quite good.
Sounds good.
I do shop TJs some…but one thing they often do…you find a product you really love…and before you know it, they quite selling it. I have been able to sometimes find it elsewhere, but not always…frustrating. And of course, this past year plus, has been no help at all…no matter where we shop!!
My daughter has gluten issues which she discovered after being in Sri Lanka for a month volunteering and ate as a vegetarian for over a month. She came home and immediately started eating things with wheat and got sick again. So she’s been eating GF for over a year now and I too eat GF. It’s just easier due to the possibility of cross contamination. TJs has a print out of all their GF foods. Just ask for it at the Help desk. Luckily we have one in town and it is so helpful. I believe you can also get a print out for Kosher foods.

Thanks!
YUM-O!!!!!!
sadly,like the OP,my Trader Joes is about an hour and a half from me so not very feasible which makes me sad because just like you,by myself and they sound like a perfect meal with fresh fruit(( another favorite).
Sounds so good. No Trader Joe’s here, but I plan to do an internet search for a similar recipe. The fruit combo sounds delicious – one I haven’t tried. Thanks for a delicious meal idea!
Just like no Tuesday Morning, there is no Trader Joe’s near us either. In fact, I do not know where the closest store may be, if there is one. Your frittatas sound so tasty, I am going to check our grocery store to see if they might have something similar. Wish me luck, (grin)….Have a good weekend, hugs from WI.
Here where I live in booneyville, sadly there is not a Trader Joes on the radar. The Frittata looks like a good find! I enjoy simple, quick meals, and that with fruit sounds just perfect! Have a great day! Hope your back feels better soon.
I like that Gail, booneyville! I also live in booneyville, so no Trader Joes near me either!
These are very easy to make yourself . You can control the vegetables you put in and it would be just one pan. Search online. So many possibilities. Cheaper than store bought also.
I think I will check online to make my own, thanks!
Just added that to my TJs grocery list. We don’t go often, as it’s about a 30 minute drive there. Sounds like this would be worth a trip!
