Growing up, my family had a tradition of gathering around the table for Sunday brunch. Our Italian heritage meant we had a lot of delicious dishes to choose from, but one of my favorites was always the frittata. A frittata is an Italian omelette-like dish that is cooked in a skillet, and can be filled with whatever ingredients you have on hand. This simple Italian Cast Iron Skillet Frittata is the perfect breakfast to make for your family and friends.
I recently tried this recipe using spinach, onion, tomato, and cheese – all ingredients that can be easily found in most kitchens. I love how the flavors of the vegetables blend together, and the cheesiness just takes it over the top. This frittata is so easy to make, and can be customized with whatever ingredients you have on hand. All you need is a cast iron skillet and some fresh ingredients, and you’re ready to go.
I hope you enjoy this Deliciously Simple Italian Cast Iron Skillet Frittata as much as my family does!
Tips:
- For a vegetarian option, leave out the cheese and use vegetable broth instead of milk.
- For a heartier meal, add in cooked sausage or diced ham.
- For a spicy version, add in some chopped jalapenos.
