What is a Frittata?

A frittata is an egg dish that can be filled with any combination of meat, veggies, or cheese. It’s generally added to a hot skillet or cast iron pan on the stove-top and finished in the oven.

• With minimal prep and cleanup, this dish is easy to make and uses just one skillet.
• Budget-friendly clean out the fridge and use leftovers from potatoes or pasta to meat and veggies.
• This frittata recipe reheats well, so make it on the weekend and reheat it for breakfast throughout the week.
• Serve cold for a light lunch or warm alongside a salad and drinks for a delicious meal.

Frittata Vs Quiche

Both are made with the same basic ingredients, but unlike quiche, a frittata recipe doesn’t have a crust, and it has a different ratio of dairy to eggs.

Ingredients And Variations

Meat – Aside from eggs, other proteins like diced ham, bacon bits, Italian sausage, and salmon can be used in a frittata. For a lighter dish, use fewer yolks and more whites.

Potatoes – Potatoes like diced hashbrowns are good choices. Leftover cold pasta is a great addition and can be used in place of potatoes.

Vegetables – Any veggie goes! Red bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, asparagus, baby spinach, broccoli, or cherry tomatoes are great options. Use what you have.

Cheese – I love the flavor of cheddar, but much like the other ingredients, almost any shredded cheese is perfect. Try shredded goat cheese, mozzarella, swiss cheese, or even a sprinkle of feta cheese crumbles.

How to Make a Frittata

1. Saute veggies in an oven-safe pan until tender, and then add potatoes.
2. Whisk eggs, cream, and seasonings in a bowl, and stir in bacon and green onion.
3. Pour the custard mixture into the skillet and top with shredded cheese and fresh herbs.
4. Bake (per recipe below) until the frittata is just set. Broil a minute or two for a nice golden top.

Tips for the Best Frittata

• Set eggs out about 20 minutes before whisking them – this helps them loosen up faster and incorporate more air, making for a fluffier frittata.
• Be sure the vegetables are cooked so they don’t release water into the frittata.
• Keep leftover frittata in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat portions in the microwave.
