I’ve been disappointed by traditional frittatas before, so I went back to the basics. I pitted America’s Test Kitchen’s frittata guidelines against Bon Appetit and Epicurious, and came up with my own go-to methods.
Below, you’ll find lists of recipes organized by category—from eggs and potatoes to lightened-up savory lunches, wholesome pancakes, waffles and more. These healthy(ish) recipes will gear you up for a great day!
Have you ever had an amazing frittata? The perfect frittata is creamy, custardy, and full of veggies. It is not dry, sponge-like or bland.
Frittatas are the ultimate clean-out-the-fridge weeknight dinner or weekend brunch recipe. Frittatas also transport well, so you can bring slices to picnics or pack them up for work lunches.
I made sure to use a reasonable oven temperature (not the broiler) and suggest cooking the frittata on the middle rack, so you can watch it while it cooks. Life’s too short for burnt frittatas! The baked options are particularly great if you need a make-ahead option or when your stovetop is otherwise occupied.
