When you’re craving a flavorful and healthy way to start (or end) your day, there’s nothing better than a frittata. The beauty of this crustless quiche is its versatility and easy preparation. Look for seasonal vegetables at your local farmer’s market for a weekend brunch frittata, or when you’re in a pinch, dig for that half-eaten goat cheese or zucchini in the fridge. Whichever direction you choose, making a frittata is one of the easiest and most hassle-free ways to prepare eggs. Having lots of healthy frittata recipes on hand can be your weeknight savior.
My best frittata secret
- Egg quality is most important. The eggs used should be farm fresh with creamy amber yolks. Learn more about how to choose the best eggs.
- Adding a little cream to the egg mixture is a surefire way to get a fluffy texture (and get rid of the dreaded dry sponginess).
- Take it up a notch with fresh herbs. A few days ago, I made a rainbow chard, sesame, and shallot frittata and added some fresh dill from the garden. Hmm!
- Garden queen Alice Waters suggests stirring vegetable and egg mixture before putting it in the oven. Of course, I will be happy to accept your request.
If you don’t have the vegetables your recipe calls for, don’t worry. You can use whatever you have on hand, even if it’s not in your fridge (like a jar of roasted red peppers), and it won’t ruin the flavor of your frittata.
And when it comes to choosing a pan, cast iron is definitely the gold standard for stovetop-to-oven frittata recipes. A properly seasoned skillet will yield perfectly smooth, photo-perfect slices.
