What’s In This Vegetarian Butternut Squash Frittata Recipe?

- Arugula
- Zucchini
- Onions
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Worcestershire Sauce: for that unbelievably rich umami flavor, but make sure you use a vegan variety if you don’t eat meat (some can contain anchovies).
- Herbes de Provence: my favorite spice blend! This French blend has a mix of rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory for a wonderful and complex flavor.
- Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
- Eggs – we get ours from the farm down the road, and if you can support your local farmers!
- Milk of choice
- Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to this dish.
How Do I Make Frittata with Arugula and Zucchini?
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large 11 inch cast iron skillet, add the olive oil and onions. Sauté over low heat for about 10 minutes until they begin to brown. Add the diced zucchini and sauté for an additional 6 to 7 minutes until the squash begins to soften.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, Herbs de Provence, garlic powder, half of the arugula, and stir well to combine.
- Crack the eggs into a separate bowl, and add the milk, salt, pepper, and paprika. Whisk well until the eggs are well scrambled.
- Pour the eggs mixture into the Cass iron skillet with the vegetables and quickly combine.
- Cook the eggs in the skillet for 4 to 5 minutes until the edges set (do not stir).
- Place the frittata in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
- Remove from oven, top with the remaining half of the arugula. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, and slice to serve.
Make This Frittata Ahead
To make ahead or the night before, follow the above steps until the frittata is fully cooked. Cover with a plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to a day. To reheat, place in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes until hot.
