Simple Greek Frittata Recipe [keto] (2024)

As I get more into meal planning, and sharing those meals, I was invited by Isabel to join the Sunday Supper movement. I love the concept and their mission, and am excited to share with you all my latest kitchen creation!

This week’s Sunday Supper is all about breakfast for dinner. Or as I like to call it, brinner. I always loved when my mom would make us a full breakfast at night, and I have some great memories of those dinners, as a kid.

Any time Jason and I go out for breakfast, if I can order a Greek omelet, or egg dish with feta, I always do so. But when I attempt to create an omelet at Casa de Crews, they just never look {or taste!} as good as when someone else makes them. I do, however make a killer frittata and since I love Greek cuisine, why I never thought to make a Greek inspired frittata until this week, is bey-ond me.

I think the savory flavors are great for “brinner” and would pair well with a Greek salad, or maybe roasted lemon potatoes, for a side.

What is a frittata equivalent to? ›

The Frittata (Italian) and the Tortilla (Spanish) are very similar. The main difference between them seems to be how the eggs are finished. Both begin with the filling and the eggs, cooked on a hob in a frying pan. The frittata is traditionally finished in the oven and the tortillas are flipped and finished on the hob.

What's healthier frittata or omelette? ›

But unlike omelets, egg frittatas can serve a family fast. And unlike most egg recipes, a four-serving frittata cooks all at once without any flipping or fuss. Plus, since there's no crust (like quiches), it makes it a healthier breakfast option.

How many carbs are in egg frittata? ›

It's extremely low in carbohydrates.

A basic egg frittata typically has less than 5g total carbs per serving, depending on what else you put in it. And this keto bacon frittata has less than 2g per serving!

What is a substitute for heavy cream in frittata? ›

Milk + Butter

Butter is a whopping 80% fat, so combined with whole milk, it works as a heavy cream substitute. Just melt 1/4 cup butter, then whisk in 3/4 cup whole milk until smooth. You can use it in place of 1 cup heavy cream.

Is a crustless quiche the same as a frittata? ›

A frittata, sometimes called a crustless quiche, has no crust, and you can bake it directly in a pan or skillet. 2. The filling: A quiche is a custard tart, but a frittata contains less dairy. The filling in a quiche follows the ratio of one large egg to one-half cup of dairy.

Do you have to put milk in a frittata? ›

Adding a bit of dairy, whether it's cream or thick yogurt, is essential for getting the moisture and creaminess of the frittata just right. For every dozen eggs, use a half cup of dairy. It can be cream, whole milk, sour cream, yogurt, crème fraîche, even cottage cheese.
