Broccoli, Pancetta, and Parmesan Frittata

View Recipe: Broccoli, Pancetta, and Parmesan Frittata

The frittata is a high-wow, low-difficulty dish, though some cooks shy away, thinking that the two-stage stovetop/oven technique is tricky (it's not). The dish is also cheap and, using our approach, balanced and healthy. 

In this first recipe, save time by microwaving the broccoli florets in a covered microwave-safe bowl at HIGH for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.

Butternut-Kale Frittata

View Recipe: Butternut-Kale Frittata

Frittatas are some of the most efficient vehicles for leftover vegetables. Here, we combine roasted butternut squash with quick-cooking kale for a fiber-rich breakfast duo. A touch of dairy lends custard-like creaminess to the egg mixture.

Corn Frittata with Pecorino-Romano Cheese

View Recipe: Corn Frittata with Pecorino-Romano Cheese

There isn't an herb that doesn't go well with crisp fresh corn—dill, basil, cilantro, lovage—but dark green Italian parsley is also good and bracing against the corn's sweetness. For an extra dose of smoky essence, sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika over each serving.

Two-Tomato, Basil, and Goat Cheese Frittata

View Recipe: Two-Tomato, Basil, Goat Cheese Frittata

The addition of both grape and plum tomatoes gives this vegetarian frittata a boost of fresh flavor. With creamy goat cheese scattered throughout, every bite engulfs a pillowy cloud of light, tangy flavor. Make it for a crowd, or an at-home weekend brunch. Either way, eggs and goat cheese is a healthy, protein-packed combination that is hard to rival.

View Recipe: Zucchini and Red Pepper Frittata

This delicious frittata recipe uses a summer veggie that many gardeners have in abundance—zucchini. Boost the flavor by topping it with a creamy pesto, tzaiziki sauce, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Sausage, Feta, and Kale Frittata

View Recipe: Sausage, Feta, and Kale Frittata

We love that kale gets thrown into this egg-based skillet. To avoid overcooking, pull the pan from the broiler when almost set, then let stand 10 minutes.

Make the leek mixture, and cook the potatoes a day ahead. Or use store-bought diced cooked potatoes (such as Simply Potatoes), whisk the eggs, combine everything, and bake the frittata in the morning.
