Western Frittata recipe image
This Western Frittata is a robust and satisfying breakfast or brunch option that balances lean protein with earthy herbs and vegetables.

As the eggs cook gently in the skillet, they form a fluffy, custard-like texture that holds together the medley of thawed potatoes, green beans, onions, and peppers. Topped with sliced mushrooms and a blend of cheddar and mozzarella, this dish offers a comforting, home-style meal. It is perfect for weekend gatherings or as a make-ahead option for busy mornings. The flavors are well-rounded and savory, making it a versatile choice that pairs beautifully with fresh fruit or a side salad.

Note

The "American Mixtures Western-" package typically contains a blend of frozen potatoes, green beans, onions, and red peppers. Ensure these are fully thawed before adding to the skillet to ensure even cooking.

If the frittata does not fit under your stove's broiler, you can finish it under a broiler for the last few minutes to melt the cheese, but watch closely to prevent burning.

This frittata can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in a microwave or toaster oven.

For added texture, you can saut&# 195;© the mushrooms separately before adding them on top, though the recipe works well adding them raw on top as they will steam in the covered skillet.
