Looking for an easy, versatile meal prep breakfast option? Try this Spring Vegetable Frittata.
Eggs and egg dishes are surprisingly great for meal prep and this Spring Vegetable Frittata is no exception. Another bonus with frittatas is the versatility - I used asparagus, tomatoes, and sweet peppers but you could sub in any vegetables you have. Broccoli florets, zucchini, carrots, corn, okra, spinach, or any other favorites would work too!
I also love frittatas because they can cover all of your bases for a balanced, nourishing meal - potatoes for starchy carbs (which play a big role in the satisfaction factor of a meal which is important!), non-starchy carbs (veggies) for gut-loving fiber, quality protein from eggs, and healthy fats from olive oil (I like to do another light drizzle on top when serving).
However, my favorite part of this Spring Vegetable Frittata is the fresh dill. I did a survey on my instagram stories the other day about dill and I was shocked to learn that there are people (about 1/3 of those who answered) who don't like dill - if that's you, you could sub in other another herb, basil would be excellent with this! But for my dill lovers 🙋🏻♀️, this is an excellent recipe to showcase the fresh, spring-y flavor.
Ingredients
½ lb potatoes, chopped (I used red potatoes)
1/2 of a red onion, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
10 eggs
½ C milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
½ tsp salt
Pepper to taste
2-3 C veg - I used 1 C cherry tomatoes, halved + ½ bunch asparagus, cut into 1.5 inch pieces
handful of fresh dill (about 1/4 C), chopped plus more for garnish
Optional)- 4-5 spoonfuls soft cheese (non-dairy or regular) such as ricotta or macadamia nut cheese
Method
Preheat oven to 425F
Heat olive oil in cast iron skillet (or other oven safe pan) on medium heat
Add in potatoes with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 min
Add in onion and another pinch of salt and cook another 5 min, turn off heat
While potatoes and onions are cooking, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper
Pour into pan, add in veggies and handful fresh dill, stir everything together, top with spoonfuls of soft cheese if using
Bake for 10-15 min until eggs are set
Top with more fresh dill for serving
Enjoy!
