Even better if they are meals you can make ahead and reheat later. Frittatas are perfect for this and you can even pop them into lunch boxes for the kids since they taste just as good served cold as they do hot!

EASY BAKED FRITTATA RECIPE

This easy baked frittata recipe is one that is never the same any two times I make it because it’s the perfect recipe for using up leftovers or making use of whatever ingredients you have on hand.

So long as you have the key ingredients – eggs, cheese, milk and seasoning. Beyond that, you can make it with almost anything!

My favourite combination of ingredients and the ones that I am sharing with this easy frittata recipe are bacon, cherry tomatoes and feta cheese.

The flavours work so well together for any time of the day and it really could not be easier to make!

If you need a few more quick and easy weeknight meal ideas, my mum’s tuna mornay recipe is ready in a flash. Or prep ahead this Mexican potato casserole or baked feta pasta and then pop them in the oven to cook in time for dinner.

TIP: Frittata is the perfect recipe for using up leftovers such as roast vegetables, leftover rotisserie chicken, taco meat, baked ham or pulled pork, or any deli meats and cheese you have that are nearing their use-by date.

What You Will Need

To make an oven-baked frittata, you will need a large baking dish.

This recipe is suited to large families or meal prep when you want leftovers for lunches and it will serve 8.

If you only have a small baking dish, you can halve the quantities, or split your ingredients across two baking dishes instead.

• Eggs – One dozen eggs beaten in a large bowl
• Milk – Full cream or low-fat milk are both fine
• Cherry Tomatoes – The tomatoes give your frittata their flavour burst, adding sweetness. You can also cut up other types of larger tomatoes if you don’t have any cherry tomatoes. We use our homegrown cherry tomatoes and I cut the larger ones in half.
• Feta Cheese – Feta and tomato are just the perfect flavour combination. Cut your feta into cubes.
• Parmesan Cheese – Use shaved or powdered parmesan or substitute it for another cheese of your choice such as tasty or cheddar cheese. I use whichever we have in the house at the time.
• Fresh Basil – This is not an essential ingredient however a handful of fresh basil leaves chopped or whole mixed through your frittata adds to the overall flavour. This is also something we grab out of our veggie garden at home. You can also substitute fresh basil for 1/3 cup of basil pesto instead.
• Bacon – Diced bacon can be substituted for a vegetarian alternative such as tofu or for a different type of meat such as ham, chicken, pulled pork etc. The bacon can be pre-cooked but I find it does cook while in the oven.
• Salt and Pepper – Season to taste
• Mixed Herbs – This is another optional ingredient, however, a supermarket dried mixed herb mix enhances the overall flavour.

How To Make A Frittata In The Oven

What To Serve With Frittata

Frittata is hearty enough to be a filling main meal, yet light enough to be enjoyed for lunch or breakfast as well.

This particular recipe with bacon and tomatoes makes for a great breakfast frittata and an easier and healthier alternative to bacon and eggs!

If you are looking for ideas on what to serve with frittata for dinner or lunch, it pairs perfectly with a light garden salad or any leafy green salad during the summer months.

For a winter warmer side dish, pair your frittata with sweet potato fries, roast veggies or with a soup entree.

Frittata Recipe Alternatives

There are so many frittata recipes, making this one of the most flexible recipes to have in your menu rotation. Here are some of my favourite baked frittata variations:

• Tomato, spinach and sweet potato
• Mixed vegetables (sweet potato, zucchini, onion)
• Ham and cheese
• Ground beef or chicken
• Olive, basil and tomato

As mentioned above though, anything goes really! If there are flavour combinations you like, why not experiment with your leftovers and create your own flavour burst!

Storing Frittata

Once cooled, slice up your frittata into squares and keep it sealed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

You can also freeze your frittata for up to 2 months in an airtight container or in individual freezer bags, which are great for work or school lunches, or last-minute breakfast on the run.

You can allow it to defrost and serve cold or reheat in the microwave until hot.

This recipe also makes a great lunch idea for kids at home for weekends or school holidays, just as it can be a perfect lunch box filler or lunch at home! Find more lunch box ideas here.

TIP: Make sure you do wait until your frittata is fully cooled before putting it in the fridge or freezer though, otherwise it will have excess condensation in the container, resulting in extra moisture when reheating or defrosting.
