An easy one-pan kale and butternut squash frittata that is delicious warm or cold. With caramelized onions, mushrooms, kale, and butternut squash topped with melted cheese. Makes a perfect breakfast, brunch, or dinner meal.
I love a warm, savory frittata with lots of sautΓ©ed veggies and herbs. It is such a versatile recipe and can be changed up easily with whatever you have on hand. I sometimes add crispy bacon and cherry tomatoes.
How to Make Butternut Squash Fritatta
In this recipe, I've used seasonal fall vegetables like butternut squash, kale, mushrooms, onions, and garlic. I pre-roasted the butternut squash in the oven. Then I quickly sautΓ©ed the other veggies in an oven-proof cast iron skillet. Pour the egg filling over and top it with cheese. Bake for 10 minutes in the oven til the egg has set and the cheese is nice and gooey. This delicious breakfast frittata comes together so quickly and easily. Perfect for easy weekend breakfast crowds, or for a quick weeknight meal. I serve it with salsa and fresh baked sourdough bread. For dinner (it reheats beautifully), it is delicious with a side of salad.
TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT FRITTATA
- Quick sautΓ© vegetables: You want your vegetables to be tender but still have a bite. Remember it still will cook in the oven.
- Egg-to-dairy ratio: For that perfect fluffy texture I recommend using β cup of dairy with 8 eggs, or Β½ cup of dairy with 10 eggs.
- Add lots of cheese: Adding a great melting cheese like cheddar, gruyere, or parmesan will add the perfect texture and flavor to your frittata.
- Don't over-bake: Check your frittata after 7 to 8 minutes making sure the center is slightly puffed, and the edges are slightly crispy. The center should not be jiggly.
