Frittata is an Italian dish that is meant to incorporate any leftover vegetables, pasta, cheese etc. and then baked with eggs. Frittata doesn’t mean you go shopping for its ingredients (maybe except the eggs) but rather clean out the fridge and freezer. Going bad veggies, frozen cheese leftovers, going bad cheese in the fridge, too many gifted eggs. Got it?
My vegetable frittata recipe includes cooked sweet potato, broccoli, pepper and snap peas. Flavour is boosted with Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes. A dozen eggs seals the deal. 20 minutes later healthy vegetable frittata stands tall and proud at our lunch table. Packed with fiber, protein and a bit of complex carbs. When you are a food blogger, you eat what you cook when you make it.
Frittata is a glorified omelette or simplified quiche that can be a star of a weeknight dinner or any brunch menu. It travels well to an office potluck and makes delicious cold breakfast. It’s GOOD!
How to Make Vegetable Frittata
- Preheat 10″ cast iron skillet on medium heat and swirl oil to coat. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add vegetables and garlic, and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
