    This Kitchen Sink Frittata is a weekend favorite to make after a trip to the farmers' market or when we need to do a little fridge clean-out. Maybe you have some veggies in the crisper looking a little wilted? You better believe it's going to end up in that week's frittata.

    Everything but the kitchen sink

    A Kitchen Sink Frittata is a simple concept: A frittata stuffed with everything imaginable, or "everything but the kitchen sink." As such, it has an incredibly flexible ingredient list aside from the necessary eggs. It can be easily adjusted to accommodate dietary constraints, as well as many food allergies and intolerances. It's also a great way to use up extra veggies hanging out in your produce drawer that will inevitably end up in the compost bin if you don't use it asap.

    I like to dice or shred a few different veggies, changing it up each time based on what's in season where I live or what's in season in my produce drawer aka what needs to go! Here are a few ideas:

    • zucchini or yellow squash
    • tomatoes
    • carrots
    • bell peppers
    • jalapeno and poblano peppers
    • kale or spinach
    • butternut squash
    • black olives
    • broccoli (heads only for Low-FODMAP)
    • cauliflower (avoid for Low-FODMAP)
    • green onions (green tops only for Low-FODMAP - avoid traditional white, yellow, and red onions)

    slices of frittata, sliced tomatoes, slices of avocado on tan and blue plates and white towel

    Protein swaps

    For extra protein, I generally add sugar-free bacon, ground sausage, chorizo, or ground turkey. I also love adding a generous amount of cheese; sharp cheddar, gouda, gruyere, and pepper jack are my favorite choices. If you're completely meat or dairy free, this recipe can also be made without, but I highly suggest adding in fun extras that will liven the dish up. Cilantro, chives, or dried red pepper can add significant punch to the dish when you're working around a food allergy or intolerance. If I'm feeling fancy, I'll top them with a few avocado slices and/or a drizzle of Paleo sriracha after they're baked.

    It's really hard to get bored with this dish because the ingredients can vary considerably each time you make it. Use the following recipe (below) as a guidepost for your own Kitchen Sink Frittata, but feel free to mix it up depending on your preferences, diet, and what's in season in your own produce drawer!

    Easy food prep for the week

    Once cooled, slice into 8 equal portions and pop into storage containers (I love this glass Snapware set). Stack in your fridge and grab for breakfast or lunch and they should keep for up to 4 days.

    A note for special diets

    This Kitchen Sink Frittata is grain-free, gluten-free, and friendly for Keto, SIBO, and low-FODMAP diets. When omitting the cheese, this can easily accommodate both Paleo and Whole30 diets.

    Description

    This Kitchen Sink Frittata is a weekend favorite to make after a trip to the farmers' market or when we need to do a little fridge clean-out. Maybe you have some veggies in the crisper looking a little wilted? You better believe it's going to end up in that week's frittata.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 lb bacon, chopped - or - ground sausage
    • 1 medium head broccoli, chopped (about 2 cups)
    • 1 cup green onions, chopped
    • 1 bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup, any color)
    • 1 medium poblano pepper, diced (about ½ cup)
    • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 12 large eggs
    • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ½ tsp cracked black pepper
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (omit if Paleo or Whole30)
    • ½ cup cilantro, chopped

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).
    2. Brown chopped bacon in a cast-iron pan (14 inch is what I use).
    3. Drain off excess rendered fat (save this for cooking other things!), saving a small amount in the pan to saute the veggies and coat the pan for baking.
    4. Add broccoli, green onions, bell pepper, poblano pepper, and tomatoes (I reserve part of the tomatoes to sprinkle on top after the eggs are added because they look so pretty). Saute for 3-4 minutes on medium.
    5. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs vigorously. Then add red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper and whisk to combine.
    6. Add egg mixture to the skillet, covering all of the sauteed veggies and bacon.
    7. Add shredded cheese to the skillet and mix with a spatula to incorporate.
    8. I you reserved part of your tomatoes, add them to the top now.
    9. Allow to cook undisturbed on medium for 2 minutes.
    10. Just before you pot the skillet into the oven, sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top.
    11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until knife comes out clean. The eggs will continue to cook slightly after you pull them out of the oven, so make sure not to over-cook. Allow to cool slightly before cutting.

    Notes

    Easy food prep for the week: Once cooled, slice into 8 equal portions and pop into storage containers. Stack in your fridge and grab for breakfast or lunch and they should keep for up to 4 days. If I'm feeling fancy, I like to top these with Paleo sriracha and avocado.

        Yea! Why make it hard on yourself in the morning. Breakfast can be tasty, healthy, and still leave time for you to enjoy the morning without being stuck in the kitchen.

      I'm all about ways to keep myself from getting hangry! This is such a great way to use the odds and ends you have on hand. And we always have at least a dozen eggs on hand, so this is a great dish to keep in mind.

      I love kitchen sink meals because they can use up the random amounts of produce left from other recipes through the week, but I usually just end up making them into casseroles. I love that this does it with breakfast so I can break out of the casserole mold!
