Why we love this recipe
Oh, this frittata! It is your eggs and your toast mixed up with some fresh veggies and just the right amount of cheese, all in one glorious conglomeration right on your plate.
It’s perfect for Sunday brunch, perfect for a weekday supper, and perfect for using up the bits and pieces of veggies and cheese and whatever else you have in your fridge, because it can be varied to your heart’s content.
My heart was very happy with these toasted chunks of ciabatta bread, sweet cherry tomatoes, chopped asparagus and Vermont cheddar all nestled in tender egg.
And to make things even better, this starts on the stovetop…just until the eggs are set…and then finishes up in the oven while you set the table and get happier and happier knowing what is coming to your plate very soon. 😀
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities and nutritional information.
First I used the pan to toast up the chunks of bread in a little olive oil until they were just the right amount of golden. Out they came, and in went another couple tablespoons of olive oil.
Then I whisked up some eggs, stirred in the veggies and cheese and toast chunks and poured it in the pan. I let it cook just until the eggs were beginning to set – about a minute – and then popped the pan in the oven.
10 minutes later I had a pan full of this.
I ran a thin spatula all around it and slid it onto a plate.
And from there cut it into hearty slices and served it up!
You can customize this to your hearts content with different veggies and cheeses…I have a hunk of feta cheese in my fridge that is definitely headed in this direction. So happy breakfast, lunch and/or dinner…any time is frittata time!

Would it work to just bake it in the oven (After I toasted the chunks of bread) if I don’t have an oven-safe frying pan?
You definitely can – just skip Step 3 and put it right into a casserole – I would spritz it with cooking spray first – and bake. :)

This recipe just checks off all of the boxes. Erik would just LOVE this frittata. Okay, you’ve convinced me Kate: I must go to the grocery store (when it stops thunderstorming–ahhh!) and grab the ingredients needed to make this. Btw, you totally made me start dreaming about a nice, relaxing trip to Vermont, replete with Black-eyed Susans and Really Well Done toast. :)
I know, THOSE THUNDERSTORMS! We let the dog sleep in the bed just for that stormy night, because she hates the thunder and was giving me the “Please Mom” eyes. And yes, Vermont!! Do it!!

Made this for a light Sunday dinner and it was well-liked by all three teenagers. Another great dish – thank you!
I’m so glad! Teenagers are a great audience. :)

I love that this has the toast AND the eggs all in one skillet! The best of all breakfast things.
Right? Pondering what else I can add toast to.
