Vegetable Frittatas are a great way to get your vegetables in for breakfast while using up whatever leftovers you have in your refrigerator.
Jump to RecipeFrittatas, similar to gumbo and ratatouille, are one of those recipes that are great for using up a bunch of leftovers that you may have in the refrigerator. That’s precisely how we came up with this recipe. Justin wanted something different for breakfast and decided to experiment.
We later looked it up and realized he basically made frittatas, even though we had never heard of them before. There were a lot of leftover vegetables in the refrigerator as well as some sausage. So he just started throwing things together.
That’s one of the best parts of this breakfast. It is entirely customizable to your tastes and preferences, and what ingredients you have on hand! For example, we had some sausage left over from making sausage biscuits and gravy. We also had sliced mushrooms, onion, grape tomatoes, and spinach. If you don’t want or like any of that, you can substitute other ingredients. Justin said next time, he will probably make it with green pepper, but it was still good without.
We used sausage in these since we had it leftover from before. But, you could also fry up some ham or bacon as well. Again, whatever you like, whatever you have on hand, whatever you need to use before it goes bad, can all go into this recipe.

Sausage and Vegetable Frittatas Step by Step
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sausage (cooked)
- 1/4 cup mushrooms (sliced)
- 1/4 cup onion (chopped)
- 1/4 cup tomato (chopped)
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with milk and salt and pepper

In a medium frying pan, saute the vegetables in olive oil and add the sausage

Spread the vegetables and sausage out in the frying pan so they create one layer covering as much of the pan as possible

Pour egg mixture over the vegetables, trying to distribute evenly so there aren’t any gaps

Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the egg is firm on the bottom and starting to brown
Carefully flip the egg over to cook the other side and top with cheese so the cheese melts while the bottom is cooking

Serve warm sliced like a pizza

I made frittatas before but, not in a while. Thank you for the reminder. It will be nice to add to our breakfast lineup.
This was our first time making them!
I’ve made something semi-similar in the past–I love how customizable this recipe is; I’m gonna need to try it again with asparagus! :]
I think that’s my favorite aspect of this recipe, how easy it is to customize!
I had no idea these were called Frittata. My dad used to make something similar and we’d cover it in ketchup! It was one of the few times I enjoyed egg.
We didn’t know either until after my husband made it and we tried to look it up just so I would know what to call it!
I have never made these, but the recipe/instructions are easier than I would have imagined. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
This was our first time as well, and it was really simple and quick!
I love finding new recipes!!! Keep the great post coming!
We do too! I’m glad you like it.
I always thought Frittata was hard to make, I will follow your recipe and add my touch, hopefully I can share the pic with you.
I did too! I didn’t really know what it was but the name sounded like something complicated!!
I love frittatas, and these look delicious! I’ve never tried to make my own before but I will now. They’re perfect comfort food on a cold day.
I had never had one until we made these ones! I can definitely see making them on a cold morning.
I love this breakfast idea. I’ve never made a frittata, but it seems just like a fancy omlette that’s just as delicious. Yum! 🙂
It’s kind of a flat omellete, in a way. It’s just not folded over with everything inside, but it’s all cooked right into the eggs.
I’m gluten and lactose free, so eggs are a good option and when I can add loads of veggies, well that is a great meal! Thanks for sharing your nice pictures with us.
I’m glad this is something you can try, then! My grandmother is the same and I know how hard it can be to find foods.
Looks delicious! I always thought that frittatas were super hard to make- but this recipe looks totally doable!
I did too! I had never even had one before, but this was so easy.
So yummy! I should definitely try to make this over the long weekend.

I hope you enjoy your delicious breakfast if you get a chance to make them!
Frittatas are great to serve breakfast to groups. A few different varieties for different preferences.
I didn’t even think about that, what a great idea!
Yum! This looks delicious. I always enjoy a good egg frittata or omelette. Making breakfast is one of the meals I really enjoying making so I am saving the recipe!
Breakfast is the meal that I am the worst at! I just don’t have the patience that early in the morning for much cooking.
This is such a great recipe. I’m not the best cook and when it comes to eggs, I only know how to make them boiled and scrambled. I want to learn more recipes and this is a great way to start. Wish me luck trying to flip the frittata!
I am the same! I am slowly adding new egg recipes to my list of ways to prepare them. The flipping is definitely the hardest part!
Agreed! Great way to use up leftovers. And a great way to start the day as well.
Yep, you can’t go wrong with this one for a variety of reasons!
Oh my goodness! Another recipe that I really want to prepare for my kids! I think they love this so much and it would their favorite.
It’s a great way to get a lot of healthy things into the kids and they probably won’t even realize it!
This was so easy to make! My hubby is a huge fan of breakfast so I am always looking for easy and delicious meals for him and this was a win!
That’s great! I’m glad it was a hit with him and easy to make.
I definitely need to make this when my in-laws are over visiting. It sounds like the perfect breakfast to have with them!
Definitely good for when you have company. It doesn’t take too long and is enough for about 4 people.
Yum, this looks so delicious! My entire family will love this…looking forward to making it this weekend!!
I hope you enjoy! The hardest part is flipping, so if you can do that, then it’s a perfect easy weekend breakfast!
WE make something similar in muffin form all the time! Its such a hit for everyone here.
I’ve tried that before, too. Both ways are great breakfast!
I love frittatas! This combination looks delicious!
It’s a great combo. They are fun because you can make them almost any way you want.
I definitely need to try this one! I am such a slacker when it comes to making breakfast but this looks easy enough to make during the morning rush.
I am too on school days. We tend to make breakfasts like this on the weekends when we have a bit more time.
This is something I would love to make this weekend for hubby 😍😋 He and I we both love eggs and sausage, so yeah it’s meant for us ❤
Oh my gosh, sounds like a perfect weekend breakfast for you guys then!
Sounds delicious! I often prepare breakfast in this style, there’s only one difference. I never mix the eggs in advance but pour them directly over vegetables and after a few minutes of cooking, I mix everything again. Also a tip: you should add sour pickles in it. It’s surprisingly yummy 🙂
That would definitely give a different texture! We’ve never tried pickles. I’ll have to give the suggestion to my husband, he would probably love it but I can’t stand cucumbers.
Ooo how lovely does this look. This to me is classic comfort food. Easy to make and easy to eat xx
What an original and easy idea for breakfast! I don’t think I’ve ever done fritata, I will definitely be trying it soon!
It was definitely something different for us, too.
You can’t beat a nice fresh frittata for breakfast or lunch – such a quick and healthy meal to rustle up and my kids love them too which is always a bonus

I agree, it’s always a bonus when you can get the kids to eat something! I know that struggle all too well here.
