Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Eggs: Choose large eggs for a fluffier texture; they are the heart of your frittata.
  • Bell Peppers: Use any color you like; they add sweetness and crunch to every bite.
  • Spinach: Fresh spinach wilts beautifully and adds a pop of green goodness.
  • Onions: Sweet onions caramelize nicely and enhance the overall flavor profile.
  • Feta Cheese: Crumbled feta provides a creamy saltiness that elevates this dish to new heights.
  • Olive Oil: A drizzle of olive oil keeps things moist while adding richness.
  • Salt & Pepper: Essential seasonings to bring out all those delicious flavors.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your frittata cooks evenly from top to bottom.

Sauté Your Vegetables: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and bell peppers until they soften and turn translucent.

Add Spinach: Toss in fresh spinach next; stir until it wilts down dramatically—like magic! This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Whisk Eggs & Season: While the veggies are working their charm, whisk together eggs with salt and pepper in a bowl until blended well.

Combine Everything: Pour the egg mixture over your sautéed veggies in the skillet. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for extra flavor.

Bake Until Set: Transfer the skillet to the oven; bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top and set in the middle. Gently shake it to see if it jiggles!

Once you’ve taken it out of the oven (careful not to burn those fingers!), let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges.

Serve warm or at room temperature—the choice is yours! This Breakfast Veggie Frittata is versatile enough to shine at breakfast or brunch gatherings or even as a quick dinner option during busy weekdays.

Now that you’ve made this delightful dish, don’t forget to share some with friends or family (if you’re feeling generous) because who wouldn’t love being treated to such deliciousness? Enjoy every bite of your veggie-filled masterpiece!

Chef's Helpful Tips

  • Use fresh veggies for better flavor and nutritional value; frozen can become soggy when cooked.
  • Cook frittatas low and slow to avoid burning the bottom while ensuring even cooking throughout.
  • Let rest for a few minutes after baking; this helps set the frittata before slicing.

Cooking this frittata always brings back memories of brunches with friends, where laughter mingles with the smell of baked eggs and sautéed veggies.
