Frittatas have quickly become a staple in our house since I made this Roasted Red Pepper Feta Frittata. They’re just so easy and delicious! They’re also one of those rare dishes where you can easily use up odd ends from the fridge, and somehow it still tastes awesome. Emptying the fridge is exactly how this frittata came about. I had half a bunch of asparagus, some leftover fontina, and a little basil that needed to go immediately before it turned into yet another science experiment.
So I pulled everything out along with some golden grass fed butter, (seriously delicious Kerrygold that Costco is carrying right now) and got to work.
Prep time for your average frittata is only about 10 minutes followed by about 15 minutes baking time, so you can’t beat it for a quick dinner either! If you’re feeling extra motivated, throw together a quick salad with pre-washed greens and some Basil Honey Mustard Dressing while the frittata finishes in the oven.
I cut 1/3 of the asparagus into spears to layer on the top, but this is only for a little extra presentation. You can just chop it all up to simplify this dish even further.
Frittatas are also part of my weekly meal prep now because they’re quick and easy to make, they keep all week in the fridge, and they taste good hot or cold – you just can’t beat that! I had the last piece just this morning, and I’m making another batch tonight to restock. I’ve also been more consistent than I’ve ever been in feeding myself breakfast since starting my frittata obsession. It’s the easiest, (and tastiest) veggie packed/protein rich make-ahead breakfast I’ve ever made. And when I’ve just had ‘one of those days’ I pull out a couple pieces, and heat them up for dinner along with a side salad. Speaking of one of those days: the other day I was signing some official government paperwork for our business, and I signed my name and then dated it 2014 – what?!? apparently I’m a few years behind! It’s definitely those kinds of days where you don’t want to worry about what’s for dinner. 5 from 3 reviews
