Most of my recipes in this blog use eggs because who doesn’t love eggs (unless you are allergic) – it’s easy to cook, versatile, and one of the cheapest and convenient protein sources. And when the pandemic hit us all, I’m sure you’ve stocked at least a dozen eggs in your pantry.
Here I share with you a fritata recipe that I recently made. My youngest daughter is so fond of eating green peas, my husbands love chili leaves, my eldest daughter loves cheese, and me, I love tomatoes and eggs! Combine them altogether, we have this delicious egg dish that is so easy to make.

2 tsp green peas (cooked)

This recipe was inspired by Ajinomoto “7-Day Egg Challenge” and you’ll find out why.
Based on the consumption survey conducted in 2015 by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST), chicken eggs ranked seventh on the “Top 30 Commonly Consumed Food Items” in the Philippines, proving that it is an indispensable ingredient in a household. While eggs are often seen as an accompaniment to our breakfast silog meals, it has many other uses from making quick meals, a thickener and binding agent, to adding flavor.
Eggs are packed with nutrients that children need for healthy growth and development. It contains vitamins and minerals and all nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce on its own, making it an ingredient that can be easily added to other food to enhance its nutritional value. It’s no wonder that it is a favorite of Filipinos as it’s not only nutritious but an inexpensive source of nutrients and easy to prepare especially for busy parents.
To help Filipinos utilize eggs and make delicious egg-cellent meals Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation has prepared a “7-Day Egg Challenge” for us to learn new ways to cook eggs for your kids. Even picky eaters would love the way they’ve added ingredients like veggies to enrich the color, texture, and nutrients of the dishes. Best of all, all are under a hundred pesos for a family-size meal!
