Basically, a frittata is a crustless quiche. It’s simply a baked egg dish and can include any fillings, spices, or flavorings you like. From greens to meat to cheese and more, you really can put together any combination with eggs and a bit of milk and turn it into a delicious frittata.
This recipe also happens to be an excellent way to use leftover ingredients before they go bad. So next time you clean out the fridge, toss everything in your crisper drawer into an eggy frittata, and you’ll have a feast to enjoy for any meal.
The main difference is that a frittata is partially cooked in a skillet on the stovetop and then finished in the oven. Whereas, a quiche is cooked entirely in the oven with a pie crust as the base. In addition, quiche has a creamier, custard-like texture due to the addition of more dairy and the oven baking process.
Of course, there's the Quiche Lorraine, which consists of bacon, Gruyere, and nutmeg----such a umami combination.
Simply prep your veggies, sauté them over the stovetop, and combine everything together before whisking up your eggs! Then, transfer everything into a skillet or baking pan, and let the oven work its magic. Voila!
Here's what you need to make the Perfect Veggie Frittata for breakfast or brunch:
The key for this Herb Roasted Tomatoes recipe is to start with great-quality tomatoes. Choose a mix of large and cherries, and several different colors if you can find them.
I like to roast my tomatoes in a hot oven until they blister and become sweet. The heat from the oven caramelizes the outside of the tomato and enhances its natural sugars, much like how caramelized onions become sweet after cooking.
This Perfect Veggie Frittata recipe is incredibly versatile. You can customize it by adding more ingredients like bacon for a 'meat' option. Here are some additional ideas to jazz it up!
Here, I’ve curated a list of baking essentials that I use to achieve my favorite baked goods, especially with this Perfect Vegetable Frittata. Everything from my fave casserole pan, wooden spoons, parchment paper, and more. SEE THEM HERE!
Even though this Perfect Veggie Frittata recipe is based on using Mild or Sharp Cheddar you can also switch things up and add a new flare to its flavor profile by adding any of the following grated cheeses:
Just toss everything into a bowl, mix to create your seasoning blend, and you’re set! You can even make extra to keep on hand for next time or to use in other recipes.
For the best results, allow the veggie frittata to cool completely before covering it tightly and storing it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To reheat, simply add frittata to the oven at 350 degrees until warmed through.
Okay, this perfect breakfast frittata recipe is already mouthwatering and oh-so-satisfying, but I can't resist adding a few extra treats to create the ultimate breakfast or brunch spread. Here are my top favorite sides that take this meal to the next level:
Leftovers can be stored in a tightly sealed container + refrigerated for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven when ready to serve.
A frittata is a great make-ahead recipe. You prep the veggies by slicing and chopping them and storing them in containers separately in the fridge 1-2 days beforehand. You can store leftover slices or the whole veggie frittata in an airtight container (or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap) in the fridge for up to four days. Serve it cold or warm it in the microwave just before serving.
It is typically done when the center is set and doesn't jiggle when gently shaken. You can also insert a toothpick or knife into the center—when it comes out clean, it's ready.
Absolutely! While using a skillet it super convenient, you can most definitely bake your frittata in a pie dish. Just grease it well when prepping.
Yes! Since vegetables will take longer to cook than your egg custard, always sauté things like garlic or onions or bell peppers or tomatoes, cook broccoli or asparagus, cook meats (like chicken, bacon, etc.) and so on; before you add them to your egg mixture to ensure that your frittata will be perfectly cooked.
Yes, you can! Simply ensure that you stick to plant-based milk. Also, ensure that you substitute the cheese with dairy-free shreds.

Frittatas are the best! It's such a great way to use up vegetables in the fridge too.
I've long wanted to make a frittata but most of the recipes seem to call for ham. So this one is especially welcome. A beautiful way to start the day or as a brunch.
Yes, I hardly eat ham, so this was perfect for us too! I do hope that you get a chance to try it!:-)
