Dietitian Notes/Substitutions:

- For a complete meal and to add even more vegetables, serve this frittata with a simple side salad dressed with oil and vinegar. Consider a slice of whole grain toast or fruit for some healthy carbohydrate.

- Experiment with your favorite vegetables. Tomato, leeks, broccoli and zucchini are all delicious additions to any frittata or quiche.

- For a lower phosphorus option, swap the whole milk with a plant-based milk without phosphorus additives. For even lower phosphorus, and more protein, use 4 whole eggs and 4-6 egg whites.

Around 90,000 people are currently on the kidney transplant waitlist, each hoping for a life-changing kidney transplant. Sadly, multiple people on the kidney waitlist die every day, never having gotten their second chance at life.

The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) believes in a future where everyone who needs a kidney gets one–a future where there are Transplants for All.
