frittata Anyone?

Whether it is Spring, Summer, Winter, or Fall, a good Breakfast and Brunch can change your day for the better. But, sometimes you need something that can be made quickly and left alone until it's done. The frittata is a perfect dish to make when you’re in a rush or feeling lazy. It can be made in various pan sizes, and served to many. Here you will find my variation of a simple and easy Veggie Frittata. It has become a go-to dish for me!

What is a Frittata?

A Frittata is an egg based dish that can be made with cream or milk whisked into it or not depending on your preferences. It is very similar to a quiche and omelet when it comes to ingredients. However, unlike a quiche, a frittata is made without a crust. The ingredients are also mixed into the egg mixture rather than folded in like an omelet. Depending on the ingredients that are added into the frittata, it will really help to sauté the harder vegetables first. This will give them time to soften. Even though this is a veggie frittata, if you need some extra protein, make sure to always cook your meats first and hold them for when you assemble the frittata. 

The One-Dish Meal

The perfect thing about this dish is that it can be made with ingredients you already have on hand. Usually, for most homes, eggs are always in the refrigerator. There is usually some produce that probably is on its last limb in your refrigerator drawer. Mix them both together with some shredded cheese and you have Breakfast or Brunch for a few people. A frittata gives those meaningless ingredients in your home some purpose. Plus, it is a one dish meal! I love an easy clean up meal that also tastes delicious! It can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat and enjoy!

With recipes like these it’s all about color and the right amount of seasonings. Eggs can easily be over salted or under salted. You’ll want to layer the flavors as you go. Seasoning and tasting the vegetables as you go will help you gage what the final product will taste like. This is the biggest mistake that I see most people make when cooking. People don’t seem to want to taste their food as they go. It is so crucial that you do this. You don’t want to be known as the friend who served bland food. Trust me, people will ALWAYS remember a bad food experience. Why do you think people do not eat at everyone’s home? But, that’s a topic for another day. Enjoy this recipe fam!
