Vegetable Frittata Recipe
In this vegetable frittata recipe we sautee the vegetables, then add them to a pie dish with an egg and milk mixture. Bake it, flip it, and you've got a delicious and light veggie frittata!
Equipment
- 1 ceramic pie dish
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup loose mushrooms, chopped into bite sized pieces
- 3 small asparagus stalks, woody ends removed and asparagus chopped into 1/4 inch thick medallions
- 1 small onion, peel removed. and chopped into bite sized pieces
- 1 garlic clove, minced or pressed through a garlic presser
- 1/2 tsp table salt, divided
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley plus more for garnish
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme leaves plus more for garnish
- 5 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Cookig Spray
Instructions
- Preheat - Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sautee The Veggies - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and the chopped veggies. Saute for about 7 minutes until soft and the mushrooms are starting to brown.
- Season - Toss in the garlic, parsley, and thyme, and saute for 30 seconds before adding 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Whisk Eggs - Hand whisk the eggs in a large bowl with the milk, parmesan cheese, and 1/4 tsp table salt. Whisk well so that the eggs and milk are well combined and the mixture is light, at least 1 minute with a hand whisk.
- Transfer to Pie Dish and Bake - Spray a ceramic pie dish with cooking spray. Place the sauteed veggies in the pie dish in a single layer. Pour the whisked eggs over the top. Place in the oven and bake until the sides are beginning to crisp and the center is fully set, about 30 minutes. When done, remove from the oven.
- Flip - This is optional, but I like to flip my frittata out of the pie dish onto a plate. To do this I place a plate over the top of the pie dish and carefully flip the pie dish without moving the plate (while wearing oven mitts). If you have a good ceramic pie dish that you sprayed with cooking spray, it should come right out. You can run a butter knife along the edges to make sure it isn't sticking. Or you can just leave it in the pie dish! Totally up to you.
- Rest & Garnish - Allow it to sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy!
