Vegetable Frittata With Asiago Cheese

Image may contain Dish Food Meal and Plant

At Captiva Art Cafe on Captiva Island, Florida, chef Matthew Mitchell offers imaginative pasta and egg dishes as his meatless selections. We reduced the yolks in his frittata, but all the wonderful flavor is still there. Mitchell accompanies the frittata with toasted focaccia.

  • Great vegetable frittata. Took previous suggestions and used feta instead of asiago. Next time I would up the amount to 2 oz.

  • Fresh and beautiful! A great, light wake-up dish for a Saturday morning. I could have consumed the whole pan easily. Would be really nice with some feta on top for an extra salty punch.

  • Comes together quickly and makes for a nice light breakfast or brunch. I might add mushrooms next time as I thought it was a little lacking in umami. I did not separate any eggs, just used 6 whole. Great base recipe to make as is or substitute different vegetables as you please.

  • I am an alter-er. I tried this once as-written and it was simple and tasty. This morning, though, I wanted to make it again but (1) had no Asiago Cheese and (2) had no fresh basil. I used crumbled feta sprinkled on top and, instead of fresh herbs I added dried basil and a little oregano into the egg mix. Tremendous! Nice to have such a simple recipe that can work so many ways.

  • Yum! Made this for my husband, who loved it. We left out the spinach (it didn't look so hot this morning) but upped the other veggies to make up for it. Will definitely make this again.

  • Tasty frittata. Next time might add sauteed mushrooms. Agiago cheese on top gave it a wonderful flavor and it was pretty to look at too. I was afraid that the ratio of 3 whole eggs plus six eggs whites would lessen the taste but it was fine the way it was.

  • Turned out great! Def. will make this again. I did change a few things around....yellow pepper instead of red, parm. instead of asiago, and I added a chopped portobello mushroom. Actually ended up being pretty easy to make too!

  • Great combination of flavors and the fresh chopped basil & tomato on top is perfect. I made this for Thanksgiving day brunch with sides of roasted red potatoes and fresh strawberries. It's yummy and also great leftover. Next time I will chop all the veges the night before.

  • tripled the recipe... prob would have been better if it wasnt overcooked. made it for a brunch, and most was gone. also i sauteed the veggies, then spread on a greased (w/ olive oil) 13x9 glass baking tray. puffed nicely. baked at 375... when egg had firmed (edges will firm first...wait till center starts to firm) sprinkled asiago cheese atop.

  • This was delicious. I followed the recipe exactly as written and was thrilled with how it came out, particularly as a function of how much time it took to prepare. Made it for a brunch and everyone wanted seconds!

  • I made this for weekend brunch. I used half-and-half like someone else suggested, and a bit of hot sauce. It was a hit with my veggie-loving friends.

  • I thought it was ok. Nothing wow about it. Also too much spinach.

  • Fantastic for ease of preparation and taste. I sub carrots for zucchini and let the tomatoes bake into the cheese and it is a keeper.
