In my opinion, frittatas are one of the easiest dishes to make when in a hurry because they are a “no fuss” kind of dish. The varieties are endless and they are a great way to use up leftover vegetables, meat, or whatever you have in your refrigerator. They are also great to make ahead and freeze portions for on-the-go breakfasts during the week. This veggie frittata came together one night for dinner as I was using up leftover ingredients from previous meals during the week.
Veggie Frittata
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Leftover veggies, diced (I used onion, asparagus, and sun-dried tomatoes)
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 c milk
- 1/3 c Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Saute the vegetables in olive oil. Spread vegetables across the bottom of a greased pie dish.
- Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, milk, cheese, salt and pepper.
- Pour egg mixture over the vegetables. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Cut into slices after frittata has cooled slightly.
This is a great dish to serve for breakfast and or as dinner served with a side of roasted sweet potatoes.

This looks great! If you have a cast iron skillet pan making fritatas in that too are awesome 🙂

Great idea! I actually don’t own a cast iron skillet but I think I might need to change that.

Oh I would love this! Wasn’t quite sure what a frittata was but I guess it’s like a quiche without the crust? I love quiches but cutting out the crust isn’t a bad thing as I’m sure it cuts the calories but a lot.
Paige says
Exactly! A frittata is basically a crustless quiche so it makes it a little healthier!
