Vegetable frittata ingredients

This frittata recipe is made with nourishing ingredients that you can feel free to mix and match to truly make it your own.Here are the key ingredients:

• Vegetables – For this frittata recipe, I am using zucchini, peppers, and onions, but feel free to use whatever vegetables you love or have on hand. This is such a flexible recipe!
• Eggs – You’ll need a dozen large eggs for this recipe. I recommend organic pastured eggs.
• Milk – I used whole milk because that’s what we had on hand, but you can use any milk of choice: skim, 2%, almond, or cashew milk.
• Cheese – There’s something fabulous about the combination of goat cheese, veggies, and eggs. But, you can use any cheese you’d like. I think feta crumbles would be great too.

What pan is best for making a frittata?

Frittatas are very easygoing and can be made in a variety of different pans. You can use a cast-iron skillet, largesautépan, muffin cups, or a baking dish.

Each pan or dish will create a delicious vegetable frittata, so use what you have on hand or prefer. You will need to adjust the cooking time, depending on the pan you use. I cooked my vegetable frittata in a 9×13″ baking dish and it took about 30 minutes. You will know your frittata is done when the eggs puff up and the center is set.

If you use a cast-iron skillet or sauté pan, the cooking time will be similar (although you, of course, want to keep an eye on it) and if you opt for muffin cups, they should be done in about 20 minutes.

How to roast veggies

Youdefinitelywant to pre-cook any vegetables that you’ll be adding to your frittata, otherwise, they’ll leach water if they cook in the egg mixture and make your frittata watery. I find the easiest way to cook the veggies is by roasting them. Here’s my method:

• Chop the veggies. Start by chopping all the veggies into fairly uniform size pieces, so they cook evenly.
• Oil + season veggies. Add the veggies to a large bowl, drizzle with avocado or olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss so veggies are coated with oil and salt and pepper.
• Cook. Transferthe vegetables to a rimmed baking sheet and spread them out evenly. Roast at 425ºFfor 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

• Reduce the oven temperature and prepare your pan. Set the oven at 350ºF and grease your pan with butter, coconut oil, or cooking spray.
• Whiskeggs. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
• Add roasted veggies. Stir cooled veggies in with the egg mixture.
• Transfer into prepared pan. Pour the egg and veggie mixture into the pan and top with dots of goat cheese and sliced scallions.
• Bake. Pop in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the eggs have puffed up and are set through the center. Serve and enjoy!
