    Broccoli and feta cheese frittata cooked in a pan. Pin title text overlay at top.

    Broccoli and feta cheese frittata is a delicious brunch or dinner. Packed with vegetables it's a perfect quick healthy meal to make!

    Broccoli and feta cheese frittata cooked in a pan with a lettuce and tomato salad in a dish behind.

    Frittatas must be one of the easiest and fastest recipes to make. For example, this broccoli and cheese frittata takes just 15 minutes to prep and 15 minutes to cook!

    Although frittatas are generally made as breakfast recipes, we enjoy them as a meal at any time of the day.

    My kale and pepper frittata has been a popular breakfast / brunch recipe of ours for years. Whilst we might enjoy courgette and sundried tomato frittata as a substantial dinner.

    They're a great way to use up eggs and you can pretty much make them your own by using whatever veggies you have.

    Mostly frittatas are made on the stove in a pan but if you're looking for an oven baked frittata then why not try out my oven baked vegetable frittata?

    A slice of broccoli and feta cheese frittata served on a plate with a knife and fork beside. Rest of the cooked frittata in the pan in the background.

    This broccoli feta frittata is an easy recipe and can easily be made your own by following the recipe or using any of the substitutions listed below!

    In an oven, wrap frittata in some aluminium foil and place in an oven preheated to 180C. In a microwave place on a microwavable plate, cover with some cling film and heat for 30 - 60 seconds. You do not have to reheat if you don't want to as a frittata is excellent cold!

    Notes

    *make sure the pan you use is an oven-safe pan one suitable of being used under a grill. The handle doesn't need to go under the grill so as long as the pan can that's fine. You could also use a cast iron skillet for this recipe.

      For some reason, frittatas aren't on my regular rotation around here - and I'm not sure why not. This frittata sounds amazing, Neil - I love the broccoli and feta in there! And I bet this would be pretty tasty in the form of cold leftovers, too. I want to make this soon!

        Thanks David. And yes, Fritattas are excellent as cold leftovers. Sometimes food tastes even better cold and I can guarantee that these are!

      Wonderful. I don’t think I’ve ever put broccoli in a frittata or even a quiche. But why not?!

        You could easily substitute with other vegetables but the broccoli just seems to go so well with the flavours and add a nice bit of texture too!

      Even though frittatas are one of my favourite dishes, surprisingly i don't make them often. This version looks utterly delicious and inviting. I would have probably added even more protein like chicken breasts, if I needed a more substantial meal. Need to make a frittata soon 🙂

        Thanks Ben! Feel free to adapt this to what you would like it to be. I didn't put in any meat because it's a vegetarian frittata.
