Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Whisk the eggs, almond milk, garlic, and salt until well combined. Set aside. Choose a vegetable variation. Follow the corresponding instructions to make it.
Broccoli Feta: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions, broccoli, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still bright green, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the smoked paprika, then add the egg mixture and gently shake the pan to distribute. Sprinkle with the feta and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are set. Season to taste and serve.
Roasted Red Pepper & Spinach: Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the roasted red peppers and spinach. Sauté until the spinach is wilted, then add the egg mixture and gently shake the pan to distribute. Sprinkle with the feta and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are set. Season to taste and serve.
Spring Veggie: Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions, asparagus, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Add the peas, then add the egg mixture and gently shake the pan to distribute. Add the mozzarella and feta and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are set. Season to taste and serve.
Mixed Mushroom & Tarragon: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, stir, and cook until soft and tender, about 8 minutes, stirring only occasionally. Stir in the tarragon, then add the egg mixture and gently shake the pan to distribute. Sprinkle with the pecorino and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are set. Season to taste and serve.
Caprese: Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, half the basil, stir, then add the egg mixture and gently shake the pan to distribute. Add the mozzarella and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are set. Top with the remaining basil. Season to taste and serve.

Ashley B on 2026-03-01 12:46:09 (5 stars): I riffed on the Caprese version by turning it into a more Mexican flavor by subbing out shallot and basil for red onion and cilantro. It turned out great. I had some leftover ranchero sauce I wanted to use, which was excellent with this, adding that smoky rich flavor. I look forward to trying other versions!
Hayley on 2026-01-24 16:09:17 (5 stars): This was honest to goodness the best tasting frittata I’ve ever had!
Carly on 2025-09-29 21:39:26 (5 stars): I made the caprese version. It turned out great.

Meg on 2025-09-06 12:15:27 (5 stars): Do you have any suggestions for making individual portions in a 6 inch cast iron? Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
Stephanie on 2025-08-02 18:27:24 (5 stars): I didn't have a skillet. So I took a risk and baked it for 20 minutes. I used 4 eggs whole milk, shredded cheddar cheese mix, fresh green and yellow peppers, scallions, dill and garlic pepper seasoning. Delicious
Elaine on 2025-05-23 02:49:49 (5 stars): Hi how long can the frittata be kept in the fridge and freezer?
Kirsten on 2025-04-27 12:04:12 (5 stars): This is the only frittata recipe I use anymore. Can’t imagine there being a better one out there.
