    FAQ's

    What is the difference between an omelet, a quiche and a frittata?

    An omelet is cooked on the stove and the ingredients are folded into the inside of the omelet. Most frittatas are started on the stove and finished in the oven. A quiche will have a crust and the ingredients will be folded into the custard and poured into the pie shell.

    What is the best pan to cook a frittata in?

    A cast iron skillet is the best pan to use for a frittata. You'll want to make sure it's well-seasoned.

    Can you overcook a frittata?

    Yes a frittata can be overdone. Don't wait until it's brown on top before removing, it will be overcooked.

    Deb's top tips

    My best tip for making a vegetable frittata is to sauté your veggies first before adding them to the eggs. This step cooks out any excess moisture, keeping the frittata light and fluffy instead of watery.

    It also deepens the flavor of the vegetables, giving every bite that delicious, just-right balance of texture and taste.

    Variations

    At Bowl Me Over, I've tested this vegetable frittata more times than I can count, tweaking ingredients and methods until it came out just right. Light, fluffy, and full of flavor every single time. Here's what I've found...

    You can swap the sour cream for whole milk or heavy cream if you prefer; it still turns out creamy and rich. Don't worry if you don't have a cast iron pan on hand-this recipe works beautifully in a pie plate, baking dish, or any ovenproof skillet. Just be sure to give it a good coat of nonstick spray to keep things from sticking.

    And when it comes to the veggies? Anything goes! Red or yellow onions, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, cooked sweet potatoes, sautéed potatoes, or bell peppers. Fresh or roasted, all veggies shine in this frittata. The flexibility is what makes it such a keeper, and every variation tastes like it was made to be the star of your breakfast table!

    Serve suggestions

    This vegetable frittata is delicious on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a few simple sides! Try serving it with cinnamon rolls for a comforting touch. A fresh fruit salad or a side of crispy breakfast potatoes also makes a great addition.

    And if you're serving brunch, don't forget the coffee-or maybe a mimosa if it's that kind of morning!

    Wrapping it up

    This easy vegetable frittata is proof that simple ingredients can create something truly delicious. It's light, flavorful, and versatile enough for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner on a busy night. I hope it becomes one of your go-to recipes, just like it has in my kitchen.

        Frittatas were one of my go-to meals when I was single and $'s were tight (in other words most of the time!). They are an easy and affordable meal!
