A frittata is a great meal-prep breakfast or a good way to use up some leftover vegetables and protein. Once you have the process down on making the frittata, the filling options are endless and completely customizable to what you like.
How to Make a Frittata
Saute/cook your filling ingredients first. Otherwise, if you bake them raw, the moisture will make the eggs less creamy.
You can saute everything in the same pan, but if you are cooking the meat raw, then drain any excess liquid or fat. Then move on to cooking the vegetables.
I used leftover ground turkey taco meat in this recipe, so it was a matter of heating it up with the veggies. If you love ground turkey, check out my Ground Turkey Coleslaw Stir Fry.
Whisk the eggs right before adding them to the frittata and quickly to incorporate air in them. This helps the frittata to turn out more fluffy. Add a splash of milk or half-half to the eggs to make it creamier.
Use an oven proof skillet. I love using my cast iron skillet. If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, then you can transfer your filling to a baking dish or even a muffin tin for smaller portions.
Frittatas typically have cheese either baked in or sprinkled on top, but I wanted a dairy free version. Feel free to top with cheese if you like.
Try to not overcook the Frittata, otherwise the eggs will get rubbery.
