A frittata is very similar to an omelet, but frittatas are easier for me because I don't have to flip the egg over onto the filling.

If you are serving this gluten free frittata recipe for brunch, it pairs beautifully with the creamy butter flavors of chardonnay.

What you need to make this recipe:

Recipe step-by-step directions:

Cooking corn and red peppers in a skillet

Step 1: Cook your vegetables first. It helps them release their water and allows the flavors to blend together.

Eggs, cilantro and cream in a bowl

Step 2: Add the eggs, cream, and cilantro to a large bowl and whisk well.

Pouring the egg mixture into the skillet.

Step 3: Pour the egg mixture into the vegetables and cook for 8 minutes. Put shredded cheese on top and place under a broiler for 2-4 minutes to melt the cheese.

Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ:

It is so easy to make this light and fluffy egg frittata recipe.

  • The secret I have found is to not skimp on the dairy. Full fat fluffs this frittata up like a souffle. It is hard to tell from my pictures, but when I took this frittata out of the oven, it was a good inch over the edge of the skillet! How cool is that?
  • Another secret is to whisk the egg mixture to allow lots of air to get in. This air helps the frittata puff up :-).
  • I make my frittatas in a cast-iron skillet so I can go from cooking the eggs and vegetables on the stove straight into the oven.

Cooking Tip: Add your seasoning now in the raw egg mixture so that it blends throughout the egg evenly.

What vegetables are best in a frittata?

The sky is the limit when adding your favorite vegetables in this frittata recipe. Spinach, broccoli, kale, mushrooms...add the vegetables you have on hand :-).

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

You can easily make this frittata recipe dairy-free by using non-dairy milk like almond milk. Some non-dairy milk contains vanilla and sugar so make sure to use an unsweetened flavor or it may not go well flavor-wise.

How long will this keep fresh?

This frittata will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container.

I am so excited I get to share this gluten free frittata recipe with you!
