Impressive, delicious and easy, what's not to love about Frittata?!

If you've never made a frittata (aka. Crustless Quiche) before, this recipe is the place to start. Incredibly forgiving, versatile and delicious- you can get as creative as you want or keep it simple.

Great as brunch or dinner (or really anytime in between!), this version includes Greek yogurt (just like this egg salad does) for an extra boost of protein and a frittata that turns out ultra thick and creamy.

The Ingredients

Ingredients for Greek yogurt frittata.
  • Eggs- You need 10 large eggs for this recipe which is approximately 2 cups. You could use carton eggs if you prefer.
  • Greek Yogurt- This recipe should work with any type of yogurt.
  • Sea Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Hot Sauce
  • Avocado Oil- Another neutral cooking oil will also work.
  • Add Ins! You can mix in up to 3 cups of vegetables, 1 cup of cooked meat, 1 cup of cheese and 1 cup of fresh herbs. See below for lots of suggestions!

The Method

1. Prepare add ins (OPTIONAL). If using a cast iron skillet, you can prepare the add ins in the same pan as you will be cooking the frittata. If using meat, cook through and then remove to a plate to chop. Drain any grease and then add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to sauté the vegetables. Once cooked through and softened, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

2. Mix. Combine the eggs, Greek yogurt and seasoning until just smooth. Fold in any add ins.

Ingredients whisked together in a bowl until smooth.

3. Bake. Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to your skillet (or alternate baking dish- see below for options). Pour the mixture in and bake at 375 F for 20-25 minutes. The centre should appear just barely set.

TIP: If using add ins, reserve a handful to sprinkle over top of the egg mixture before baking so that they don't all settle to the bottom. (This is purely for looks- it will still taste delicious if you just add them all at once!)

4. Slice and serve. Remove from the oven and allow to cool and set for 5 minutes. Slice into desired sizes and serve while hot!

Leftovers

Make Ahead: Prepare any add ins up to 1 day ahead and store in the refrigerator.

To Store: Cool and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

To Reheat: For best results, place the frittata in an oven safe dish with a lid and reheat in the oven at 350 F for about 10 minutes.

For a bit of a quicker method, you can reheat in a skillet. Melt butter and add the frittata. Cover and cook for 2 minutes and then flip. Cook covered for an additional 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

For the fastest method, you can reheat the frittata in the microwave for 45-90 seconds. It may release a lot of moisture (especially if it had been frozen), so you may want to place it on a paper towel to absorb some of it.

Suggested Flavour Variations

See the recipe card and "The Method" above for details on extra steps and prep for add ins. *Meat and vegetables need to be chopped, cooked and slightly cool prior to adding them to the egg mixture.

Egg White Greek Yogurt Frittata

If you would like to use just egg whites for this recipe, replace the whole eggs with 2 cups of egg whites (approximately 20 eggs). Or check out this Egg White Bites Recipe instead!

Alternate Baking Dishes

No cast iron skillet? No problem! You can bake your frittata in one of these options instead.

  • Casserole Dish- Pour the mixture into a greased 9x9 casserole dish. Bake time will be the same.
  • Deep 9 or 10" Pie Dish- Grease a deep pie dish and pour the mixture into it. Follow recipe baking time.
  • Muffin Tins- For 16-24 muffins (depending on the amount of add ins), divide the mixture into a greased, non-stick muffin tin. Reduce oven temperature to 350 F. Bake for 14-18 minutes.

Serving Ideas

Frittatas are great for brunch and are also a great option for "Breakfast for Supper"! Or enjoy it for a high protein snack for the middle of the day.

If serving it for brunch (or Christmas morning), try it alongside:

  • Cooked bacon or breakfast sausages
  • Honey Spice Zucchini Muffins or Blueberry Muffins
  • Fresh fruit such as strawberries, blueberries or sliced oranges
  • Hash browns, or this Sweet Potato and Russet Hash (just leave off the eggs)
  • Toasted Honey Oat Bread
  • Or see this list of more ideas!

And if you are having it for supper, it would go great with:

  • A simple salad, such as Mixed Berry Spinach Salad
  • Salmon (smoked, baked or fried)
  • Onion Roasted Potatoes
  • Or check out this list for more inspiration!

    Thanks a lot for this recipe. I suddenly needed an egg dish for Easter!
    It was very lovely, and it impressed my table guest.
    I halved the recipe, since it was for two people. (I will have some leftovers for lunch!) The only things I changed were putting in a little less Greek yogurt, and a clove of garlic instead of onion.

    I made this for breakfast today and as meal prep for the week for lunches and it turned out great! Substituted egg whites to lower the calories and put in what I had on hand - reduced fat feta, green onions, mushrooms, spinach, bacon. I also cut the avocado oil down to just a teaspoon and cut the salt down to 1/4 teaspoon. With the changes it came out to 90 calories, 2 grams fat, and 12 grams protein for 1/6 of the pan. Still really satisfying and filling!
