Easy Breakfast Veggie Frittata Recipe

It’s the kind of morning where the sun shines through your window like it’s trying to tell you something important. The aroma of freshly cracked eggs fills the air as you assemble your ingredients for a Breakfast Veggie Frittata. Imagine fluffy eggs mingling with vibrant bell peppers and crisp spinach while the scent wafts through your kitchen like an edible hug.

Back in college, I once threw a brunch party that was more ‘hot mess’ than ‘hot meal’. With nothing but a carton of eggs and whatever I could find in my fridge, I whipped up a veggie frittata that saved the day—or at least my dignity. Now, this dish is my go-to for gatherings or lazy weekends. It’s like culinary magic—deliciousness without the fuss!

I remember serving this dish at brunch; everyone cleared their plates in seconds!

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!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by sautéing your veggies until they’re tender and aromatic. Then, whisk the eggs separately before combining everything in the skillet for an even cook.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap in whatever veggies you have on hand, like spinach or zucchini. Add spices like smoked paprika for a kick or sprinkle cheese for creaminess.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat slices in the microwave or oven until warmed through without losing texture.

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