Seasonal Vegetable Frittata

The frittata is one of the easiest and most filling breakfast dishes you can make! All you need are fresh eggs, a dollop of your favorite cheese (dairy or vegan), and whatever veggies you have on hand. This late-summer version calls for green beans and tomatoes, but consider other ingredients like squash or mushrooms as the days turn colder.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta, cheddar, chopped scallions, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
3. Bring a 10-inch oven-safe non-stick pan or skillet, preferably a well-seasoned cast iron, to medium-high heat. Add oil.
4. When oil starts to shimmer, add green beans and onions and cook until soft, about 6-9 minutes.
5. Turn off heat and add tomatoes.
6. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the veggies. Transfer skillet to the oven to cook for 20-25 minutes or until the egg mixture puffs up, jiggles only slightly in the center, and its edges are slightly golden.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with baby arugula and optional microgreens to serve.

What is the difference between a frittata and a quiche?

At a quick glance, it’s easy to mistake a frittata for a quiche. They’re both egg-based brunch favorites that are typically filled with a combination of cheeses, vegetables, and meat. The main difference between the two is that quiches include a flaky crust, while frittatas are crust-less.
