Garden Frittata

March 9, 2019 by Pam

This recipe for Garden Frittata is rich, creamy and filled with healthy vegetables.  The texture is more like a quiche without the crust.

I’ve always been a fan of frittatas because they are so simple to make. Mainly because there’s no extra step in making a crust involved like a quiche has. Yet this Garden Frittata has the richness of a quiche and is made and baked in one pan. How easy is that?

The creative thing about frittatas is that you really can add anything you’d like. For instance, this Garden Frittata is true to its name because for extra health, I’ve included 5 vegetables in this dish.

Ingredients for Garden Frittata

  • Eggs: The delicious healthy binding that hold everything together 
  • Salt: For savoriness
  • Pepper: For spiciness
  • Thyme: An extra layer of slightly mint flavor
  • Water: This adds lightness
  • Fat free half and half: For richness 
  • Ghee: This clarified butter has a higher cooking point than butter
  • Shallot: For an extra bite of flavor 
  • Mushrooms: For earthy texture
  • Broccoli: For health
  • Baby spinach: Healthy greens that melt into this dish 
  • Gruyere: For additional richness
  • Tomatoes: High in Vitamin C and a beautiful addition
  • Parmesan cheese: For an extra touch of saltiness and flavor

    How to Make Garden Frittata

First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F

Then whisk the eggs, salt, pepper, thyme, water and half and half.  The water is important because it really adds to the lightness of the frittata.  

Over medium high heat add ghee to an ovenproof frypan. Then add the shallots, mushrooms and broccoli and let it cook undisturbed 2 minutes until they begin to caramelize.  Then stir and cook 2 minutes longer.

Place the pan in the oven and bake 35-40 minutes until the frittata is puffed and slightly browned.  Test the center of the frittata with a toothpick inserted in the middle.  If it comes out clean, the frittata is done.
