A small amount of Dijon mixed with the eggs kicks up this effortless frittata with a subtle horseradish flavor.

Vegetable frittatas are great canvases for leftover ingredients, especially grilled summer vegetables. We add the vegetables to the egg mixture just before it sets so the veggies don't release too much moisture into the frittata.

This potato frittata recipe calls for four ingredients, but you always have salt, pepper, and olive oil on hand, so they basically don’t count. A few potatoes and a mandolin (the best kitchen gadget for quick slicing) will yield a crispy frittata that’s half french fry, half potato gratin, and 100 percent breakfast.

Zoodle Frittata Recipe

A zoodle frittata isn’t too different from the classic egg dish, but it looks a heck of a lot prettier (just imagine the spirals!). Plus, with this recipe you get thin, perfectly tender strands of vegetables in each bite—unlike the thick chunks of vegetables you might find in some frittatas. Start with a zucchini, and maybe a yellow squash, but feel free to get more adventurous: Next time, spiralize a sweet potato, carrot, or beet into your frittata.

Kale and Mushroom Frittata Recipe

A cast-iron or carbon-steel pan is simply the best vessel for making frittatas. Why? It goes under the broiler, and high heat could damage nonstick skillets. Handy advice: If you set out to make an omelet but your pan won’t release the eggs and they stick to the bottom, just spread out the fillings, pop it under the broiler, and presto! Frittata. You can easily make this dish for 2 or 4 people using a larger pan and multiplying ingredients accordingly.

Harvest Vegetable Frittata Recipe

This stunning fall frittata is the perfect solution for leftover roasted or sauteed veggies. It's also a brilliant solution for all those Thanksgiving leftovers.

Vegetable and Goat Cheese Frittata Recipe

A veggie-loaded frittata is a great way to use up produce odds and ends. Broccoli is an excellent addition here: The florets poke through the egg mixture and become delightfully frizzled in the oven.

Serve with a simple salad made with the remaining arugula you bought.

Green Eggs and Ham Frittata Recipe

The classic Dr. Seuss book isn't just a made-up story—indeed, green eggs and ham really is a delicious flavor combination. Here, it works wonders as a frittata. Leafy kale acts as the "green," and we add in scallions and Parmesan cheese for an extra punch of flavor.

Everyday Frittata Recipe

This healthy frittata recipe uses evaporated milk because it has a richness similar to that of sat fat-heavy half-and-half, but with far less fat. Be sure to shake the can vigorously before using.

Kuku Sabzi (Persian Herb and Greens Frittata) Recipe

The kuku sabzi is a Persian herb and greens frittata, but this dish is way more exciting your average crustless quiche or omelet.

While a typical frittata has the same texture throughout, the kuku sabzi browns in the pan on both sides until a dark brown crust develops on the outside, interior remaining warm and creamy.

Swiss Chard and Sausage Frittata Recipe

Here's an easy frittata recipe that you can throw together for brunch or dinner in 30 minutes or less.

Asparagus, Nettle, and Green Garlic Frittata Recipe

"Nettles--also known as stinging nettles--need special handling, because they do indeed 'sting,'" says chef Joshua McFadden of Ava Gene's in Portland. "The wild-growing spring green coated with tiny needle-like hairs, can cause a very painful reaction if you touch them with your bare hands. I usually just grab them with tongs, but you can also wear gloves or slide a plastic bag over your hand when picking them up. Miraculously, however, once they are cooked, the sting is totally gone and what remains is a lovely green, almost spinach-y--a beautiful partner to asparagus."

Herby Frittata with Vegetables and Goat Cheese Recipe

How did we pull of this asparagus frittata in just 15 minutes? The asparagus cooks in a snap, thanks to the microwave, freeing up time to chop up fresh herbs to incorporate with the eggs.
