Easy Frittata Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by cooking vegetables and potatoes in olive oil until tender-crisp and heated through. Seasoned cooked bacon and green onions are layered on top, then blended eggs with cream, dry mustard, salt, and pepper are poured over. Cheddar and fresh parsley or herbs finish the assembly before baking. The frittata cooks in the oven, setting the eggs while integrating the fillings, and is briefly broiled for a browned top.
The finished frittata offers a savory blend of textures: the softness of the egg custard, the crispness of cooked vegetables, and the smoky notes of bacon or ham, complemented by creamy cheese and fresh herbs. It serves well sliced warm as breakfast, brunch, or a light meal.
To avoid overcooking, monitor the frittata closely towards the end of baking, as it continues to firm while resting. Leftovers reheat well and make good sandwich fillings when sliced.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup mixed vegetables peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, etc
- 1 ½ cups potato or hash browns, or leftover pasta, cooked
- 8 large egg
- ¼ cup half and half or light cream or sour cream
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled or ½ cup diced ham
- 2 green onions sliced, or chives
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, or basil or dill, chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In an 8-inch skillet or cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add vegetables and cook until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in potatoes/hashbrowns and cook an additional 5 minutes. Sprinkle bacon and green onion over top.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk eggs, cream, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the skillet and sprinkle with cheese and fresh herbs.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake 14-16 minutes or until eggs are set. Broil on high for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool 5 minutes before cutting. Serve warm.
Notes
- Pre-cook vegetables and diced potatoes fully before adding eggs to ensure tenderness.
- You may substitute half and half with heavy cream, whole milk, or sour cream.
- Avoid overbaking by checking the frittata regularly and removing it when just set; it firms further as it cools.
- If needed, use the broiler briefly for a browned top but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Leftover slices reheat well and are good for sandwiches on toast.
