Frittata with Peppers and Potatoes – a “crustless” quiche, this frittata is filled with peppers and potatoes, Canadian bacon, and cheese. Frittatas are easy enough for weekdays and hearty enough for weekend breakfasts.
There are many reasons to love frittatas. They can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Additionally, they can be eaten hot or at room temperature. Frittatas are the perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. With a little bit of this and a little bit of that, the options are endless.

For this frittata, I used peppers and onions, roasted potatoes, Canadian bacon, and Monterey jack and parmesan cheeses.
Preparing the frittata
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil. Dice some onions and peppers and saute until onions are translucent.
Dice the potatoes and Canadian bacon and add to the skillet. Stir and heat through.
Prep the egg mixture. I used two egg whites leftover from another recipe and added two whole eggs. Whisk to combine. Add a splash of cream and some fresh cracked pepper. Then I decided to add a third whole egg and whisked again.
Pour egg mixture over the vegetables and sprinkle with cheese.
Transfer skillet to oven and bake 10 minutes or until the eggs are set in the middle.
Remove from the oven and transfer the frittata to a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve.
