Hello there,
This is a go-to easy Frittata with Veggies recipe packed with flavors. It’s a simple and versatile recipe made with fresh ingredients. that I have in the fridge. To make this Frittata recipe, I used a bit of grated Greek smoked cheese, which enhanced the taste, and parmesan cheese for that slight saltiness.
Now, you might be wondering what a Frittata is, for those who are now starting to cook a Frittata is an egg bake. This frittata is an egg bake with vegetables sound good? Some say that a frittata is similar to a Quiche. They may be right, but 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 eggs and for my frittata, you will need a cast iron pan. Of course, the ingredients may be slightly similar but in a quiche, you need to add cream for stability.
The vegetables that I used to prepare this recipe are peas, broccoli florets, leeks, and spring onions. I did use two red bell peppers, but here’s the kicker to this recipe, I’ve also added goat cheese. There are three types of cheeses in this frittata, smoked cheese, parmesan, and finally goat cheese. Adding cheese to a frittata gives it a flavor boost. But again this is up to you, you can add the cheese or not. I have also added fresh cherry tomatoes which I cut in halves to give it more sweetness.
While driving through Greece there is a small town 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, you read it correctly they make Parmesan Cheese and I have to admit it is quite good.
So, if you’re in the mood for a frittata this is a healthy go-to breakfast, brunch, or dinner idea give this Frittata with Veggies recipe a go. Nowadays we eat breakfast for dinner, lunch for breakfast, dinner for lunch hehehehe which I love!!
(This is an old recipe that I posted a few years ago. It’s been doing so well that I decided to update the recipe with more ingredients and share it with you.
Have a great morning/afternoon/evening everyone!
