Frittata Recipes You’ll Want To Try

1. Potato Frittata with Spinach and Ricotta

Simplicity meets elegance in this wonderful recipe that sees spinach and ricotta cheese baked in a skillet. While this follows something of a classic frittata recipe, the colors are quite brilliant, and make this dish look pretty amazing.

The recipe makes great use of Yukon Gold potatoes and eggs to get that wonderful color and texture. The spinach and ricotta provide a wonderful contrast and complete this recipe.

2. Cauliflower Frittata

This recipe takes inspiration from the Persian frittata kuku, which is generally full of herbs. And while this frittata shows off its cauliflower goodness, it’s also rich in flavors with onions, garlic, and spices giving it a slightly earthy, but overall delicious flavor and mouthfeel.

There’s also a little bit of flour in this recipe. The theory is that its presence keeps the eggs more tender to give the whole recipe a wonderful buttery feel.

3. Veggie Frittata

This frittata takes just a little time to cook and is laden with veggies that give it flavor, texture, and nourishing goodness. Generally speaking, the choice of veggies is up to you and your tastebuds. 

However, the recipe recommends the use of baby tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, red capsicum, parsley, and even some grated parmesan to add to the flavor. You can also add a bit of turmeric to enhance the colors and flavors. 

4. Asparagus Frittata

Here’s a creative take on the frittata and it surely is photogenic. One of the key elements of this frittata is that it makes generous use of asparagus. A bunch is cut and sliced into thin pieces, then added to the frittata mix.

Of course, asparagus isn’t the only other ingredient besides eggs. The recipe also makes use of onions, herbs, parmesan cheese, feta cheese, and a few more ingredients to get the right mix of flavor and style. 

5. Spinach Frittata

Fancy some greens in your meal? This spinach frittata will solve that itch for you. This recipe has a whole lot of flavor, taste, and nourishing goodness. 

Plus, the ingredients also make this a harmony of colors. The greens of the spinach work together with colors of the red capsicum, yellow capsicum, and some onion goodness. Top the dish with crumbled feta cheese and parmesan cheese to enhance the flavors and texture.

This frittata recipe is remarkable. It keeps to simple ingredients and lets them work their magic, without going into an overwhelming list of ingredients or some time-consuming preparation. 

Instead, you use a good mix of healthy ingredients like tomato, spinach, mushrooms, onion, garlic, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and of course, eggs. Some finesse goes into keeping the prep colorful, yet without going into an overwhelming or overdone territory. 

7. Chilli Spinach Eggplant Frittata

The greenish color that this frittata takes is quite in contrast with the usual bright yellow we’ve come to expect from this dish. That color is partially due to the use of eggplants, which bring their own unique color and flavor to the recipe. 

Besides, the fresh spinach, finger chillies, chopped white onions, grated cheese, and peppercorns also bring their own set of colors and flavors to this recipe. It’s quite a delicious setting with deep flavors, good texture, and all the makings of a delicious meal.

This frittata recipe keeps things simple with only a few ingredients. I like how skillful and creative cooks can be with the simple frittata recipe. You can go the extra mile and have a lot of ingredients, herbs, and spices to make a delicious frittata. 

Or, take a simple route and get this classic recipe done with just a few ingredients. Both paths are wonderful and skillful cooks can make things work like a charm with any set of ingredients. 

This recipe uses just eggs, sweet potatoes, and baby spinach. The basics like salt, pepper, and olive oil are also needed and can be added at your discretion.

What’s one ingredient that makes any recipe more likable and can even go it alone? Bacon!

And therefore, it’s no wonder that bacon finds its way into frittata as well. This recipe is filling, delicious, and looks very appetizing.

Apart from the necessary ingredients of eggs and bacon, this recipe also includes potato, milk, cheddar cheese, and spinach. The result of all this is a wonderful texture, with a smooth and buttery touch and occasional crispy goodness of bacon.
