Make breakfast a hit with this simple, savory, and tasty Vegetable Frittata!
A frittata is essentially an open-faced egg omelet. Fun fact: “frittata” is Italian for “fried.” It’s also an Italian favorite that has been around for a while, maybe even since ancient times. However long it’s been, I think we can all agree that this vegetable frittata is delicious, versatile, and here to stay!
What you eat for breakfast sets the tone for your day. I once read that if you start your day with something sweet, you will likely crave sugar all day. You may also crash and feel tired from the spike in blood sugar, and still feel hungry shortly after.
Starting your day with something delicious, rich in protein and veggies, like this vegetable frittata, will help you feel satisfied and energized. I also feel like when I eat a healthy breakfast, I am more health-conscious throughout the day. So, if you’re looking for a delicious way to up your protein, frittata is a great place to start!
Is Vegetable Frittata Healthy?
Depending on your diet, this vegetable frittata is a wholesome, delicious, and healthy breakfast. Eggs are packed with protein and also contain vitamins B12, B6, B5, and selenium. Additionally, we use broccoli in this frittata, which provides vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants.
If you’re lactose intolerant, feel free to leave out the cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
Why Baking Is Best
The fact that this delicious frittata is made in the oven gives us a break from the stove. Take the time to move on to setting the table for your brunch party, or make some mimosas. More importantly, baking reduces your chances of overcooking, which can happen on the stovetop—eggs can turn from runny to overcooked so quickly!
When it comes to flavor, baking your frittata allows the veggies, herbs, and cheese to meld deliciously, so every bite is as savory as the next!
How To Make Ahead And Store
You can make your frittata the night before and reheat it in the oven at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes. It can then be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Serving Suggestions
Vegetable frittata is perfect on its own since it is so flavorful and nutritious. However, for a great breakfast, serve it with Air-Fryer Breakfast Sausage or crispy Herb Potatoes. If you are hosting a brunch party, this frittata is a great complement to a sweet dish, like Whole-Wheat Waffles or our Healthy French Toast.
To make it a bit fancier, I like to serve this frittata with a fresh salad, like our Summer Roll Salad, or a yummy spread like Basil-Spinach Pesto.
