This vegetable frittata recipe is so easy to make. It can be served one slice at a time and made ahead and you don’t have to run out to the store for specific ingredients! This frittata recipe can be made with what you have — and like, and already in your fridge.
When my friend’s Deanna Reed-Foster and I decided to do Whole30, we made this vegetable frittata recipe and used tomato, spinach, garlic, and onions, but any vegetables or ingredients can be used. Some of my favorite additions for making a frittata include mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, or red peppers. Whatever ingredients you select, you can’t go wrong.
It’s on our Whole30 plan but it’s delicious and healthy to enjoy no matter what eating program you’re following and great for Weight Watchers and Paleo, too. I’ve included the Instant Pot version.
What is a fritatta?
Frittata is an egg-based Italian dish similar to an omelette or crustless quiche and uses additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses or vegetables. It’s basically an egg-bake filled with whatever ingredients you want… or have on hand.
What is the difference between a quiche and a fritatta?
A quiche has a crust — usually a buttery, flaky crust which holds the custard-like filling. A frittata is crustless… which makes it an ideal dish for those who are following a Whole30 or Paleo diet.
How to make a fritatta:
This fritatta recipe couldn’t be easier. And even if you don’t consider yourself a great cook, this easy fritatta recipe will make you look like a pro. A fritatta is like an omelet but the difference is in the way it is made: an omelet is made quickly in a pan right on the stove using higher heat. A fritatta is made using lower heat in the oven — or even the Instant Pot, and can be made ahead of time — which is perfect for brunches and can be served at room temperature.
There is no “one way” to make a frittata. Fill it with whatever you like: asparagus, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, peppers… your choice. Whatever you decide, it’s a gorgeous, healthy, and colorful dish.
Breakfast Frittata
