Vegetable Frittata Recipe

ByFoodsDiary Staff

The vegetable frittata is a dish of Italian origin that basically consists of an omelet of eggs and vegetables cooked in the oven. If you are looking for an easy, quick and delicious breakfast, the frittata is an excellent option. This is because the dish is made from just the vegetables you have in the fridge. That’s all you need.

Do you have any pepper and onion left? Is there a piece of cauliflower? Did you get some forgotten tomatoes or zucchini? The rest is to add your favorite spices and, if you want, some cheese. By the way, although the frittata is vegetable, it does not mean that it is vegetarian. The plate accepts leftover bacon or bacon, if you have that too.

In this recipe we will tell you what ingredients we use to prepare ours, but you can add whatever you want. Discover how to make vegetable frittata and get to work.
