If you’re trying to get more vegetables into your diet this Vegetable Frittata is for you! This recipe is great for cleaning out the fridge and using up those veggies that have been sitting in there for a while. So, if you have some veggies to use up, get out your eggs and veggies and get ready to make this simple weeknight dinner!

I don’t know about you but I’m a veggie-lover, so I’m always buying lots of vegetables and then wondering which way to use them. You may be more of a strategic shopper, but if you’re not, you probably have some veggies to use up at the end of the week.

Frittatas are easy to make!

I like easy, and with four kids I don’t always have a lot of time. Recipes like this make dinner simple. Some nights I spend a long time in the kitchen and other nights I want to get in and out as quick as possible! Can you relate?

There are lots of options when you are building your vegetable frittata. I used yellow onion, red bell pepper, zucchini, and spinach, but there is a lot of options out there! What’s in your fridge?

Some other great options would be:

  • Mushrooms
  • Tomatoes
  • Green or yellow bell pepper
  • Asparagus
  • Fresh basil
  • Or if you want to add meat you could add breakfast meat like sausage.

Know your eggs!

Make sure when you are buying eggs that you are buying good quality! It makes a difference in the health benefits of the eggs. The best eggs to buy would be eggs that are labeled organic, pasture-raised, or free-range. Eggs labeled cage-free, vegetarian-fed, or conventional don’t mean much in terms of being healthy chickens, a lot of these chickens don’t see the light of day. Another way to tell if you have a good egg is by the color of the yolk. I know it can be confusing with all the different labels out there.  I like to think of it simply. Light yellow yolk = unhappy chickens, dark yellow to orange-yellow = happy chickens!
