    Published: Oct 18, 2022 by Janessa

    Wondering what to serve with Frittata? I've got you covered! I've compiled a list of 25+ of the best side dishes and toppings to serve with frittata that pair perfectly with this ultimate one pot meal. From muffins and mimosas to breads and salads and more, I've got plenty of ideas for you!

    Collage of ideas to serve with frittata including salad, plantains, muffins and a smoothie.

    An easy egg dish that is typically cooked in a cast-iron skillet, frittata is perfect for breakfast, dinner or really any time in between.

    Here is my recipe for the perfect frittata which includes 5 variations. Simple and made with Greek yogurt, this protein-packed breakfast or dinner has a custardy texture and is full of flavour.

    For a classic version made with heavy cream, try this easy frittata recipe instead. Or you could even enjoy these sides alongside a quiche too.

    Also known as "Crustless Quiche", they are the ultimate one-pan non-recipe recipe. Customize additional ingredients to your preferences and whatever you have on hand. Leftover vegetables? Always a great addition. Shredded cheese? An excellent choice!

    Whether you plan to enjoy this for breakfast or dinner, there are so many fabulous sides to serve it with. And although I have them split up into breakfast and dinner sections, feel free to enjoy any side at any time of day.

    I hope you find plenty of inspiration from this list!

    Toppings and Garnishes

    Add some extra flavour and flair to your frittata by topping it with one of these delicious enhancements:

    • Fresh herbs such as Parsley, Chives, Cilantro, Dill or Basil
    • Guacamole or diced Avocado
    • Sliced Cherry Tomatoes or a Pico de Gallo Salsa
    • Quick and Easy Chimichurri
    • Easy Creamy Queso Dip
    • Spicy Pickled Onions
    • Almond Pesto
    • Hollandaise Sauce
    • Freshly grated Parmesan or crumbled Goat Cheese

    For Breakfast

    The great thing about frittatas is their versatility! Enjoy them as a simple breakfast recipe alongside a piece of fresh fruit or toast. Or serve them as part of a full brunch spread.
