Ingredients in this baked frittata
- eggs
- half & half
- extra virgin olive oil
- baby Portobello mushrooms - white mushrooms work as well
- baby arugula and spinach
- red peppers - you can use any color of bell peppers you like - orange, yellow or green. Don't worry; these are sweet and not spicy!
- Feta cheese - Buy a block and crumble it yourself, or buy it pre-crumbled. I always have feta in my fridge. If lovin' feta is wrong, I don’t wanna be right!
Other veggie add ins - halved cherry tomatoes, chopped green onions, or any other leftover veggies you have on hand.
How to make a Vegetable Frittata
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, water, salt & pepper.
Heat olive oil in a 10” non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add Portobello mushroom slices and and diced red pepper and cook approximately 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in spinach and arugula blend (or spinach only, if that's what you're doing) to the pan and stir to wilt it. It'll take about 1-2 minutes.
The greens will wilt considerable, so don't worry if it looks like a lot at first!

Spread the cooked veggies across the pan. Pour the prepared egg mixture on top. Cook for a few minutes until the eggs begin to set.
Reduce heat to low and cover.
Cook 8-9 minutes, then remove cover and spread Feta chunks across the top of the frittata before covering again until eggs are cooked through.
This savory stovetop frittata is easy to make and really versatile. The most difficult part is deciding whether you should enjoy it for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner.
Tips and Variations
Instead of cooking this in a regular skillet, you can portion it into greased muffin cups. You'll have meal prepped portions to grab and go!
Sub in creamy goat cheese as an alternative to the feta cheese. It adds a nice tangy flavor. Any softer cheese works well.
If you have fresh herbs growing in your garden, add them in!
You can transform this into a white frittata recipe by using egg whites instead of whole eggs
Allow the frittata to cool before placing it into an airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for up to four days.
I simply cut a slice and heat it, covered, for about 30 seconds in our microwave.
