What is a Frittata?

A frittata is an Italian omelet with ingredients layered into the raw eggs while cooking. Conversely, a French omelet has ingredients folded into the cooked eggs after the eggs are done cooking.

Another way to think of a frittata is as a crustless quiche with less dairy.

Frittatas are traditionally cooked on the stovetop in an oven safe pan and then transferred to the oven to finish cooking.

I skip the stovetop and bake this healthy vegetarian Mediterranean Frittata recipe directly in the oven. It takes a little more time for it to bake, but is also a super easy recipe, especially if making breakfast/brunch for multiple people.

What To Serve with Baked Mediterranean Frittata?

Author: beckie
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: 3
Category: Main Dish / Breakfast
Method: Oven
Cuisine: Italian
Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

2 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium yukon potato, peeled & sliced and par-boiled
6 eggs, mixed
handful spinach
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
10 olives, sliced or halved
1 tablespoon capers, drained
¾ cup (~ 3 oz) crumbled feta
¼ teaspoon salt
pinch black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.
Grease a 8x8 (or similar) baking dish with olive oil.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add sliced potatoes. Cook ~ 6-8 minutes or until firm but done (remember you are going to bake it again so you want al dente). Drain and set aside.
Mix the eggs and add a little salt and pepper.
In greased pan, layer the potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, olives, capers, and feta cheese.
Add eggs on top of everything and gently push any ingredients sticking up into the eggs (it's ok if stuff is still sticking out, it will just get drier - see picture).
Place baking dish on a sheet pan in case your frittata fluffs up and spills over in your stove.
Bake at 375F for ~ 30 minutes or until set. Broil in the last couple minutes (watching carefully that it don't burn) if you want the top a golden brown.
Let cool and serve. Happy eating! Beckie

Notes

Don't like potatoes? Leave 'em out or substitute a small sweet potato.
Like feta cheese? Add a little more. All the amounts can be substituted a little to your preference just depending on what your baking dish can hold.
Don't have or like feta? Cool - substitute the cheese of your choice.
