Description

This easy and versatile frittata is packed with vegetables, herbs, and melty cheese—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick weeknight dinner. Customizable with your favorite add-ins like sausage, smoked salmon, or leftover veggies.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 68 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, thyme)
  • 12 cups chopped vegetables (spinach, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli)
  • ½1 cup shredded or crumbled cheese (feta, cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese)
  • 12 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
  • Optional add-ins: Cooked sausage or bacon, smoked salmon, leftover roasted vegetables

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Whisk the base: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, pepper, and herbs until well combined.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add chopped vegetables and sauté until tender (about 5–7 minutes).
  4. Combine: Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Gently shake the pan to evenly distribute the eggs.
  5. Add cheese: Sprinkle cheese evenly on top.
  6. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Feel free to mix and match cheeses and vegetables. For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy milk and skip the cheese. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
