Vegetable Frittata Recipe

Vegetable Frittata Recipe

Continuing with our hosting brunch menu, today I’m sharing a versatile dish that marries the wholesome goodness of vegetables with the indulgent satisfaction of eggs, the vegetable frittata. Vegetable frittata is a celebration of flavors, textures, and simplicity. Whether you're seeking a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or a flavorful dinner option, this recipe offers a delightful option. While I knew I wanted to serve frittata at our brunch, this recipe came about using the vegetables I had on hand. I really believe in using what you have so don’t be shy about substituting some of the ingredients.

Vegetable Frittata Ingredients

  • 15 eggs, beaten (I recommend using a hand blender to create a more fluffy frittata)

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/2 cup fresh green onion, chopped and whites separated from the green

  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch strips

  • 8 stalks of asparagus, remove bottom of stalk and discard. Chop remaining

  • 1 and 1/2 cups baby spinach

  • 12 fresh basil leaves

  • 1/2 onion chopped

  • 1/2 cup gruyere cheese, shredded

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Vegetable Frittata Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 425 Fahrenheit

  • Place a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add half of the olive oil.

    • Note: taste and season with salt and pepper as you add vegetables to the mix.

  • Once the oil has heated add onion and the separated whites of the green onions. Cook until the onions are translucent

  • Add peppers and cook for about 2 minutes to soften.

  • Add asparagus and cook for about 1 minute.

  • Add spinach and let it wilt down

  • Add the remainder of the olive oil

  • Pour egg mixture over the vegetables and every few seconds mix the egg from the bottom as if you’re making an omelet, this will help evenly cook the center

  • Add grated cheese, stir

  • Add green onion and basil, stir

  • Place pan directly into the oven and cook approximately 10-12 minutes. The frittata will look like a souffle, while the center may be a bit soft, it shouldn’t be runny

  • Remove from oven, let rest. Plate, cut into slices and enjoy!
