Vegetable Frittata

A Vegetable Frittata is one of my favorites. As a private chef, I’ve found that frittatas are one of those quiet heroes in the kitchen—easy to make, endlessly customizable, and always a hit. Over the years, they’ve become a go-to favorite for my clients, especially for make-ahead brunches or busy weekday breakfasts. With Mother's Day around the corner, I can’t think of a better dish to treat mom to something special, like breakfast in bed with a warm Vegetable Frittata.

This Vegetable Frittata is everything I love in a meal—simple, nourishing, and adaptable. Whether you're loading it up with spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, or tossing in a handful of leftover roasted veggies, it’s the perfect excuse to use up anything lingering in your fridge. Add a sprinkle of cheese or fresh herbs, and you’ve got something that feels both elevated and effortless. I also love how well it keeps. You can make one at the beginning of the week and enjoy a warm slice each morning with your coffee. It’s a healthy, delicious way to start the day!

So, whether you’re planning a thoughtful breakfast for Mom or just want to bring a little joy to your mornings, this frittata delivers. It's simple, satisfying, and made with love—just like all the best meals, and Mom is going to love it!
