Vegetable Frittata
This easy oven-baked vegetable frittata is creamy, delicious and perfect for breakfast, brunch or even a light dinner! It can be prepped ahead too.
Yield: 6 -8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup chopped green pepper
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1 cup chopped zucchini
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 4 large eggs
- 1 (8-oz.) package of reduced fat plain cream cheese
- ¼ cup milk of choice
- 3 slices of whole wheat bread, cubed
- 1 heaping cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Spray a 9-inch deep dish pie pan -- or springform pan -- with non-stick cooking spray.
- Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Saute the chopped veggies for 5-7 minutes, until tender. Alternatively, you can do it my mom’s way: Combine the veggies in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave for 5 minutes, until tender. Drain.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the cream cheese and milk and beat until smooth.
- Add the sautéed vegetables and remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Pour into greased deep dish pie pan.
- Bake at 375 for 35 minutes or until set. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to allow it to set up completely before slicing and serving.

Notes
Make ahead tips: Prepare the frittata but bake for just 20 minutes. Then cool and refrigerate it overnight. When ready to bake it, take the frittata out of the fridge and let it come closer to room temperature as you heat the oven to 375. Then bake for 15-20 minutes, until done, hot and set.
Cheese: Shredded cheddar is great here, but you could also try this frittata with shredded mozzarella cheese. Or try it with a cheese blend or even some goat cheese.
This is great served with a few dashes of hot sauce to add a little kick.
Leftovers: Leftovers will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds, until warmed through, and serve.
