At Nutrition by Angie, we believe every keto meal should start with nutrient-dense animal foods. This recipe places protein-rich prawns, eggs, and cream cheese at the centre while using a small amount of leek to complement their natural flavour without overpowering the dish.

Benefits of the Main Ingredients

Prawns

Prawns are an excellent source of lean, complete protein while providing iodine, selenium, vitamin B12, phosphorus, and astaxanthin, a naturally occurring antioxidant. They support muscle maintenance, thyroid health, and overall wellbeing.

Eggs

Eggs provide complete protein together with choline, vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, iodine, and healthy fats. They support brain function, hormone production, muscle recovery, and long-lasting satiety.

Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese

Cream cheese adds a rich, creamy texture while contributing healthy fats, calcium, and additional protein. The garlic and herbs provide extra flavour without adding significant carbohydrates.

Leeks (Optional)

Leeks provide a mild onion flavour together with vitamin K, folate, vitamin C, and naturally occurring antioxidants. Using them as an optional ingredient allows you to adjust the recipe to suit your own carbohydrate goals.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Autism-Friendly Benefits

The frittata has a soft, creamy texture that many autistic individuals may find enjoyable. The prawns can be chopped into smaller pieces or left whole depending on individual preferences, while the optional leeks can be omitted entirely for a milder flavour. Cream cheese creates a smooth consistency that many people find comforting. Eggs and prawns provide complete protein, vitamin B12, iodine, selenium, and healthy fats to support healthy growth, brain development, and muscle maintenance. As every autistic individual has unique sensory preferences, the texture, flavour, and presentation can easily be adapted.

Tip

Serve with sliced avocado, smoked salmon, crispy bacon, or a fresh green salad for a complete keto meal. If you're following a stricter ketovore approach, simply omit the leeks and enjoy the frittata with extra butter or grated Parmesan. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to three days and are perfect for breakfast or lunch the next day.
