1. Bacon and Cheese
If you just want a comforting, classic frittata, try a simple bacon and cheese combination. Fry up your bacon first, then crumble it and fold it into your egg mixture with shredded cheese. Bake as usual and enjoy this traditional combination.
2. Asparagus and Mushroom
For an earthy frittata full of umami, try combining asparagus, chopped into small pieces about 1 to 2 inches long, with slices of your favorite type of mushrooms. Goat cheese or parmesan pair well with these veggies, and feel free to add in some prosciutto if you want more protein.
3. Tomato, Basil, and Mozzarella
For a burst of summery flavors, try riffing off of a traditional caprese salad by making your frittata with tomato, fresh basil, and mozzarella. To finish, drizzle some olive oil and balsamic and serve with fresh greens, like spinach and more basil.
4. Black Beans, Peppers, and Onions
Make a southwest-inspired frittata by combining ingredients like black beans, sweet and/or spicy peppers, and onions. You can also add in olives, mushrooms, or chorizo for an even more filling and tasty frittata. Top with avocado, cilantro, and salsa to complete the dish.
5. Spinach and Artichoke
Spinach and artichoke dip is wildly popular, and you can replicate those incredibly flavors in a decadent frittata. Add spinach and marinated artichokes to your frittata base, and don’t forget to add plenty of your favorite cheeses.
6. Feta, Eggplant, and Olives
If you want to add more Mediterranean-inspired dishes to your diet, whip up an easy frittata with ingredients like feta, olives, and eggplant. If eggplant isn’t your jam, add in zucchini or even sun-dried tomatoes instead. A simple arugula side salad will go perfectly with this frittata, too.
7. Potato and Kale
It’s easy to forget about that bundle of kale at the bottom of the fridge, but put it to good use by mixing it with eggs and another kitchen staple, potatoes. The result? A filling, nutritious frittata that will drastically cut down your weekly food waste.
8. Squash and Goat Cheese
In the cooler months of the year, you can use up an abundance of squash, like butternut squash or pumpkin, by mixing it into frittatas. Yes, squash does taste delicious with this eggy dish! Goat cheese adds a tanginess to balance the natural sweetness of the squash.
9. Broccoli and Cheddar
From soups to baked potatoes, broccoli and cheddar is an unmatched combo — and that goes for frittatas, too. In the frittata, the broccoli and cheese toward the top will roast beautifully for a savory meal you can’t get enough of. Bacon or tomatoes would be welcome mix-ins here if you want to amp up the flavors.
10. Smoked Salmon and Dill
Smoked salmon is good with bagels, so it makes sense that it tastes great in another classic breakfast food: frittatas. Dill brightens the dish even more and balances the smoky flavor, but you can sub in capers for a saltier twist.
11. Leeks and Parmesan
It’s easy to buy some leeks to use in a soup and be left with more than you know what to do with. But like many other veggies, excess leeks are great for adding flavor to a basic frittata. Let the leeks shine by pairing them simply with just parmesan cheese, or fully load the frittata with potatoes, kale, broccoli, and/or your favorite herbs.
12. Swiss Chard and Onion
Not sure what to do with the beautiful swiss chard that caught your eye at the market? The stems and the greens can be thrown into a frittata. Add some sweetness to the dish with caramelized onion and goat cheese.
