    Recipe Variations

    This pepperoni pizza frittata is pretty delicious as it is, but you can easily make it your own with additions and substitutions.

    • Use other veggies. I kept things simple with just onion, bell pepper and garlic, but you can easily add in other veggies like mushrooms or tomatoes.
    • Make it creamier. Use sour cream or half and half instead of milk.
    • Mix up the cheese. I used a mozzarella cheddar blend, but any melty shredded cheese will work.
    • Get creative with your toppings. Try adding black olives, pineapple, chili flakes and fresh basil.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does it last?

    This frittata can be served right out of the oven, but it's also great for meal prep too. Let it cool before placing in airtight containers in the fridge and it will keep well for up to 4 days.

    You can enjoy it cold, or reheat it in the oven at 350F, with the top covered with foil, for 10 minutes to warm through.

    Can you freeze it?

    Yes, frittatas are freezer friendly. Let it cool completely before freezing in containers or bags. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating, or, reheat from frozen at 275F for 20 minutes til warmed through.

    What pan do you cook it in?

    Frittatas are cooked on the stovetop first before being baked in the oven, so you need an oven proof skillet. This recipe uses a 10 inch skillet, and cast iron will do the job nicely too.

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    • When you add the egg mix, turn the heat on the stovetop down a little. If it is too high, the bottom of the egg mixture can burn.
    • Move the frittata to the oven when the eggs start to set around the edge.
    • The frittata is done when the egg is set, but there is still a very slight wobble in the middle.
