The Best Frittata Recipe: Easy, Versatile, and Delicious


  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Description

This easy, delicious frittata is a quick and customizable egg dish perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner—packed with fresh veggies, cheese, and herbs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (or 8 for a larger 12-inch skillet)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk (or ⅓ cup heavy cream for richer texture)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus more for seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or baby spinach leaves (optional)
  • 1 cup chopped vegetables (e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, mushrooms, asparagus)
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella or crumbled feta cheese (or a mix)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
  • Optional: fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or tarragon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Whisk the eggs with milk (or cream), salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Heat olive oil or butter in your skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add chopped vegetables and cook for 5-7 minutes until they soften and some moisture evaporates. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 3-5 minutes until the edges start to set but the center is still jiggly.
  6. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden on top, and the center is set (not wobbly).
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For best results, avoid stirring the egg mixture once it’s in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed to form a nice crust. Allow the frittata to rest before slicing for easier serving.
