Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist

A colorful and nutritious way to enjoy a variety of vegetables in one meal. It’s easy to prepare, packed with protein from the eggs, and cooks beautifully in a cast iron skillet for a crispy, golden finish.

Pro Cooking Tips

- Use medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from burning while allowing them to cook through evenly.
- Let the skillet preheat well before adding the eggs to ensure a nice crust forms on the bottom.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs or cheese for extra flavor and richness.

Step 1

Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a cast iron skillet on the stove over medium to medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Toss in the broccoli, onion, bell pepper, olives, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook everything together until the veggies are nice and tender, about 7 to 10 minutes, then take the skillet off the heat.

Step 2

While the veggies are cooking, beat the eggs in a bowl with a fork until they’re well mixed. Stir in the mozzarella cheese and the cooked vegetables until everything is combined.

Step 3

Put the skillet back on low heat and add the remaining bacon grease. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is set and starting to brown on top, around 20 to 25 minutes. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Perfect Pairings

Serve warm with a simple side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal. This dish also pairs well with a light vinaigrette or a dollop of sour cream for added creaminess.

Keeping Leftovers Fresh

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to keep the texture tender and avoid drying out.

The crispy parts around the pan were my favorite. I’ll add more herbs next time but this one’s a keeper.
