Easy Frittata Brunch Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on June 1, 2023 in Breakfast recipes

This Frittata recipe saved me these past months.  Let me correct that Paella and Frittata were the most cooked dishes while we were waiting for our kitchen.   If I remember correctly the last time I prepared Paella was in July.  (I mean wow that was a whole lot of seafood and rice).   But Frittata on the other hand is a completely different story.  It’s a simple and versatile recipe made with ingredients. that I had in the fridge vegetables and various kinds of cheese.  For this Frittata recipe, I used goat cheese in the filling a bit of grated greek smoked cheese, which enhanced the taste, and parmesan cheese for that slight saltiness.

Now,  you might be wondering what is a Frittata.  A Frittata is an egg bake with veggies.  Some same frittata and Quiche are similar.  I don’t see it, so here’s what I know to prepare a Quiche you need a pie crust.  To prepare a frittata you need a skillet.  Of course, the ingredients may be slightly similar but in a quiche, you need to add some kind of cream for stability.  Where actually do we add cream to a Frittata?

We always drive to Greece and so on our way back at the end of September we stopped off at a small town which is nestled in the Pindos mountains called Metsovo.  If you’ve never heard of this town you can google it.  It’s a beautiful town with views that are just breathtaking and this town is well known for its cheeses and the unique way they grill meat.  I bought Mestovitiko Smoked Cheese and Greek Parmesan cheese.  Yep, your read it correctly they make Parmesan Cheese and I have to admit it is quite good. 🙂

So, if you are looking to make a quick breakfast, brunch, or dinner give this Frittata recipe a go. Nowadays we eat breakfast for dinner, lunch for breakfast, dinner for lunch hehehehe which personally I love!!

Till next time 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
