What is a Frittata?

If you’re unsure what we’re even talking about in referring to a frittata, you’re not alone. Many people have tried this before without knowing the name or have never experienced a dish like this. Frittata refers to an egg-based dish, like scrambled eggs, with add-ins that enhance the meal from meat to cheese to veggies.

Why Is It a “Garden” Frittata?

We call this dish a garden frittata because it has the base elements of a frittata but features add-ins often found in the garden. Some of the ingredients called for in this recipe are peppers, tomatoes, spinach, onion, and mushrooms. These are all considered garden ingredients by most individuals and cooks.

What Is In It?

Our recipe calls for a fairly long list of add-ins to the frittata, plus the base of eggs. The full list for today is red onion, celery stalks, mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash, green and red peppers, Roma tomatoes, spinach, celery salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and most importantly, eggs. Plus optional garnishes.

How Many Servings Does This Make?

Since the recipe calls for 10 eggs, the frittata can be up to or even more than 10 servings since the bulk of the food will be veggies which are quite filling. You can use half the recipe if you want fewer servings or just save any uneaten frittata for later use during the rest of your week. It can be a great meal prep recipe.

What If I Don’t Like an Ingredient?

For those of you who don’t particularly like a specific ingredient in this recipe or have allergies to any items, you can remove the item that you don’t want and use the rest of the recipe or substitute it for something else that you like better. Or you can cut down the list of veggies in half and just double whatever is left.

How Can I Store Leftovers?

Depending on how soon you want to reheat your leftovers, frittata can be stored in the fridge or freezer. Keep it in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge. To freeze, wrap snugly in cling film, then put into a freezer bag or container. It will be safe in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.

Can I Reheat Frittata?

How do you reheat them to eat once you’ve stored any leftover pieces of your frittata for later use? The best way to warm up this dish is by preheating your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and baking until warm, about 20 minutes. Or you can always use a microwave if you need to.
