Breakfast Frittata
Frittatas are morning crowd pleasers, whether it’s my family around the breakfast table or a gathering of friends for a festive holiday brunch. An array of colorful vegetables and lively spices are a feast for the eyes and the palate.
This recipe yields 6 servings
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit / 175 degrees Celsius.
Place bell pepper and zucchini on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, using a whisk or a fork, beat 4 eggs in a large bowl with water. Add herbes de Provence, thyme, oregano, and remaining sea salt and pepper.
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and spinach. Cook for approximately 5 minutes or until the vegetables begin to wilt.
Add roasted pepper and zucchini to the pan.
Pour egg mixture on top of vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Do not scramble, just let them set.
Place round slices of tomatoes and basil on top of egg mixture and transfer to the oven.
Bake 20-30 minutes. Eggs should be set, not runny.
Serve warm.
Tips
**You can add whatever vegetables you like to this dish. The method is the same. I suggest roasting vegetables before adding to the frittata as we did with the pepper and zucchini; it makes them more flavorful.
**I cooked this frittata in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. For a larger crowd, you can use a bigger skillet and double it.
