Have an amazingly delicious and healthy breakfast by making this 5 ingredient vegetable frittata which is full of fresh flavors and takes only 15 minutes to make!

Happy Five-Ingredient Friday everyone, can we collectively say TGIF?! It’s been one of THOSE weeks with non-stop everything. Probably because it was a short work week (how was your holiday?) and everything had to get done in 4 days versus 5. It made me appreciate this recipe even more.

You see, I’ve been making this vegetable frittata since I was recipe testing for my cookbook Fast and Easy Five Ingredient Recipes: A Cookbook For Busy People and am totally in love with it because of how easy it is to make. I’m all about helping busy mealtime with inspiration and easy recipes, so if that sounds like it would be helpful, I think you’ll love my cookbook (full of over 100 5-ingredient, easy recipes!)

What is a frittata?

A frittata is just an Italian version of an omelet, and I have to say, they are so much easier to make, that they surpass omelets in my eyes any day of the week, no flipping or anything like that! They’re great for easy breakfasts!

Frittatas are fantastic for using fresh vegetables in. You can use vegetables from the farmers market, store, or whatever you have on hand. Fittatas are really adaptable to whatever vegetable combination you like.

How to cook frittatas

I make a vegetable frittata and then have it for breakfasts throughout the week – they reheat really well! All you do to cook a frittata is make up the mixture, then bake it in the oven at 400 degrees.

I’ve made this frittata recipe now about 6 times and can tell you first hand what a totally delicious breakfast it is. You can customize it by using whatever vegetables you have on hand.

Tips for making frittatas

The biggest tip I’d like to share with you for making a frittata is that instead of using raw onions (which can be a little overpowering in the mornings) try using chives or green onions, they provide the flavor while not taking over the other vegetable flavors!

If you’re looking for other great easy breakfast ideas, here are a few of my other recipe faves:

• Egg cups (my son loves these- the whole family does!)
• Vitamin C boost smoothie (my all time favorite smoothies are these two) or this tropical green smoothie
• Pumpkin loaf (everyone goes crazy over this one)
