This frittata takes advantage of super fresh vegetables and herbs to make it light, but includes leftover pasta and parmesan cheese to make the frittata hearty and satisfying.
Ingredients:
1 small head of broccoli, chopped
1/2 yellow squash, diced
2 whole eggs + 4 egg whites
Splash of water
S&P
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp fresh thyme
1/4 cup chopped, sundried tomatoes (hydrated, or packed in oil)
1/3 cup leftover small pasta
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
1. Turn oven onto broil. Steam chopped broccoli and diced yellow squash for 5 minutes.
2. While vegetables are steaming, whisk eggs, water, S&P and parmesan cheese.
3. Add fresh thyme, sundried tomatoes, leftover pasta and steamed vegetables to the egg mixture and combine.
4. Spray large skillet with non-stick spray and pour egg and vegetable mixture in. Stir mixture a little with a spatula, then let cook until bottom is set – about 3-4 minutes.
5. Top frittata with mozzarella cheese and put under broiler until top is set and cheese is golden brown – about 5 minutes.
6. Let cool for a couple minutes, slice and serve. Enjoy!
I know what I’m making for dinner tonight!
me too- stopping at the store on the way home from work!
Yup, me too!! Fritatta for dinner
That looks so good! I love your “how-to’s” on here. It’s my favorite part of your blog! It makes all your meals look so simple.
Wow, that looks really good. I wonder if I could get my wife to eat it? (she doesn’t like eggs at all). Is there a baked eggs flavor to this, or are the eggs just a binder? I love baked eggs…my favorite Sunday morning breakfast at the lake.
Ooooohhh yum, this fritatta looks devine!
I love making them, but I have come up with the method of making two smaller ones because the hubby and I have such different food likes.
I made mine in indivual smaller sized ramakins and cook them in the oven. They are great, and puff up like a big egg muffin.
Hope you are having a great week!
Not only does that look YUMMY but I did the weight watchers recipe calculator on it and it’s only 1 point per serving (estimating 8 servings). AWESOME!
I made a single sized portion for myself and it was absolutely delicious!! Thanks for sharing!!
that looks really good! great pics!

Nice job – it looks so light and fluffy.
Made it last night and it is just as good as the pictures make it look!!! Couldn’t get enough but really filling!!!
[...] off the food log journal I did remember to take pictures of something I made on Sunday. Inspired by Kristin at Iowa Girl Eats(she has the best pictures) I made a Frittata for dinner. A frittata is much like a quiche without [...]
We made this for breakfast today using vegetables we already had and it was delicious! We used broccoli, frozen corn, carrots, spinach, and fresh basil.
Oh wow – that’s awesome – good to know!!
That’s a great idea to use muffin tins!
I bet she would – it’s definitely not too “Eggy” tasting!
