This quick and inexpensive tomato and herb vegetable frittata recipe is the perfect healthy breakfast dish! Loaded with protein and veggies and baked in a cast iron skillet, it's the best comforting yet beautiful dish for company!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 10 pastured eggs
- ¼ cup coconut milk or other milk alternative
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 large onion chopped
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tomato (optional)
- 1 stalk green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 415°. In a 12.5 inch cast iron skillet melt the oil on medium-high heat then cook the chopped onions and garlic. Add the thyme and oregano to the onions and cook until the onions are almost translucent (about 2-4 minutes).
- In a separate large mixing bowl beat eggs, then add tomato sauce, milk alternative, salt and pepper and mix. Slice the tomatoes like you would for a sandwich and chop 1 stalk of green onion then set aside.
- Add the spinach to the skillet, then stir and cook until slightly wilted (about 1 minute).
- Turn the heat down to medium low then add the egg mixture to the pan and mix so everything is evenly distributed. Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top of the eggs and place about 4 sliced tomatoes on top evenly distributed).
- Use a pot holder to transfer the pan to the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes until firm.

I have fresh red peppers in my garden, would you recommend adding them with the onion?
I have promised to make this on THIS Saturday! Please tell me how I can put this into a 9×13 inch pan!
A 12×12 inch pan would work better, but it might work with the other one. I’m not sure, I’ve only ever made it with a cast iron skillet.
Love frittatas and keep meaning to make them more at home! This looks perfect and would be great for Easter!
Thanks for sharing that video on how to season a cast iron pan—my husband just recently ruined the seasoning on three of my cast iron pans and he’s being a big baby over fixing his mistake. I’m sure he’ll watch the video!
Oh no! Hope he fixes that!
the word frittata seems fancy but they are easier than a fancy omelets to make. Love that twist you are sharing here.
This frittata sounds awesome! We LOVE frittatas in our home. I’m so excited about this book too! It’s so beautiful and full of so many delicious recipes!
I am a big fan of frittatas because of how quick and easy they are—not to mention that they’re a great way to use up vegetables! It took me the longest time to try making frittatas in my cast iron skillet, but I was so glad when I did. I haven’t tried tomatoes in a frittata yet, but your gorgeous dish has inspired me!
