We love this veggie frittata because it is one of the best healthy breakfast recipes to make for almost any occasion! Whether you are looking for something delicious to serve for Christmas, Easter or Mother's Day brunch or you like to have an easy grab and go breakfast made ahead for busy mornings this recipe is a great one!
This easy vegetable frittata recipe can be easily customized by using your favorite veggies and cheeses so that you can make it your own, and make changes for any picky eaters in your life!
I have 9 chickens and this recipe is the best way to cook up a ton of eggs when they are laying like crazy! It always gets eaten quickly and everyone loves it!
I love sharp cheddar in this recipe but you can use several other cheeses and have a delicious result. For a more mild taste mild cheddar or Monterey Jack are great. If you are a fan of stronger cheeses like swiss cheese or goat cheese they make a great addition. Or for a little bit of spice you can use pepper jack!
Absolutely! I love this combination of veggies because it is fresh and light but if you would like to swap them out or add different vegetables you can! You can use bell peppers of any color, red onion, broccoli or even potatoes! You'll want to keep your ratio of vegetables to egg similar to how the recipe is written so your frittata doesn't fall apart!
Yes! If you don't have two pie pans a baking dish is another great way to cook this recipe. Just pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 pan. The baking time will be more than with pie pans so keep an eye on the frittata as it bakes.
This perfect frittata is a complete meal on it's own but if you're looking to round out a brunch or breakfast it is great served along your other breakfast favorites. Serve it up with some bacon, sausage or ham for more protein. It is also great with an English muffin, toast, croissant or other breakfast bread. Fresh fruit or fresh vegetables are also great alongside this frittata!
