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

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

Something that delicious-looking is sometimes hard to believe that its healthy too. Great recipe, cant wait to make one of my own, yum!!!!
Neil
Excellent. I hope you enjoy it Raymond! Now the only problem would be whether to have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner! 🙂
Chef Mimi
Wonderful. I don’t think I’ve ever put broccoli in a frittata or even a quiche. But why not?!
Neil
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!
sherry M

Neil
Absolutely my same thoughts Sherry. Thanks for your comment!
Michelle
This frittata looks delicious, Neil! I should definitely make it for dinner!
Neil
Thanks Michelle. I just like to keep things nice and simple some meal times and this frittata is perfect for that!
Ben | Havocinthekitchen
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 🙂
Neil
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.
