Method
- In a medium skillet, heat the vegetable or canola oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm up for about 1 to 2 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it shimmers slightly.
- Add the frozen hash brown potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re heated through and start to develop a golden color.
- Next, stir in the zucchini and onion. Cover the skillet and let it cook for another 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the vegetables to soften but still retain some texture.
- While the vegetables are cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. You’re looking for a nice, fluffy mixture.
- Once the hash browns and vegetables are ready, pour the egg mixture evenly over them. Using a spatula, gently poke the hash browns in several places to help the egg seep through.
- Sprinkle the chopped tomatoes on top, followed by a bit more salt and pepper to taste. You want to ensure everything is well-seasoned.
- Cover the skillet again and cook over medium-low heat for about 6 to 7 minutes. Keep an eye on it, and look for the edges of the eggs to begin setting, while the center remains slightly jiggly.
- After the eggs are almost set, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover the skillet once more and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once everything is cooked, gently loosen the edges with a spatula and cut the frittata into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, making it easy to enjoy again!
Freezing: You can freeze portions of the frittata for up to two months. Just thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Try different cheeses: Instead of cheddar cheese, experiment with mozzarella or feta for a unique flavor twist.
Mix up the veggies: Use whatever vegetables you have handy—spinach, bell peppers, or even mushrooms work wonderfully!
Add protein: If you’d like to add more substance, consider including cooked sausage or even some diced tofu.
Make it a mini frittata: Use a muffin tin to create individual mini frittatas for a fun brunch option. Just adjust the cooking time!
