We love a tasty frittata and this one is exactly that. The good news is that you won’t even miss the meat. There are loads of veggies and the creamy frittata makes it extra delicious.

Why This Recipe Works:

  • EASY RECIPE – This is a perfect dish to make on a weeknight. We love breakfast for dinner!
  • Nutrient-Dense – Use your favorite veggies in this easy breakfast. We enjoy this low-carb breakfast frittata and it’s a great way to use up leftover veggies too!
  • FLUFFY FRITTATA – During the cooking process, the eggs get nice and fluffy. However, it will sink as it sits.
  • VERSATILE DISH – You can easily swap out ingredients in this delicious frittata. Try using parmesan cheese, goat cheese, cheddar cheese, feta cheese, or even cottage cheese instead of the havarti.

What You’ll Need:

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Seasonings
  • Onion & Garlic
  • Sliced Bella Mushrooms
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Whole Eggs
  • Half and Half
  • Havarti Cheese – Havarti is an excellent cheese for melting due to its smooth, buttery texture.

You can swap out some of the fresh veggies for others. Try some red bell pepper, green onions, red onion, baby spinach, or zucchini squash. Fresh herbs would also be an excellent addition.

  1. Definitely will make again! We happened to have all ingredients on hand, except the jalapeno havarti, so subbed plain havarti slices (cut up). Quick, easy, and yummy!

  2. Delicious! I don’t love tomatoes so left those out, and only had regular havarti cheese so added some crushed red pepper for a little spice. I subbed in heavy cream instead of half-n-half to ake the recipe a little more keto-friendly (though it’s decent as is). I also added 2 slices of bacon because I just thought it would be a nice addition. This will definitely become a regular addition to my menu!

  3. This was delicious, super easy to make and healthy. Jonathan liked it too!!
