The Frittata Sandwich is a delicious and satisfying handheld meal made from fluffy, egg-based frittata filled with vegetables, cheese, and herbs, sandwiched between slices of crispy bread. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick lunch, this sandwich is customizable to suit your taste with endless possibilities for fillings.

Ingredients

  1. For the frittata:
    6 large eggs
    1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
    1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta work well)
    1/2 cup cooked vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc.)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking)
    For the sandwich:
    2 slices of hearty bread (sourdough, whole grain, or a baguette works well)
    1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (for toasting)
    Fresh greens (arugula, spinach, or lettuce)
    Sliced tomato (optional)
    Avocado slices (optional)
    Hot sauce or mustard (optional)

Instructions

For the frittata: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  1. Cook the vegetables: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetables and sauté until softened (5-7 minutes). If using leafy greens, ensure they are cooked until wilted and excess moisture evaporates.
  2. Cook the frittata: Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables. Let it cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set. Then transfer to the oven to cook for 10-12 minutes until the eggs are fully set and golden. Alternatively, cook on low heat with a lid until fully cooked.
  3. Cool and slice: Let the frittata cool slightly, then slice into quarters or halves for your sandwich.
  4. For the sandwich: Toast the bread slices with butter or olive oil in a toaster, grill pan, or oven until golden and crispy.
  5. Assemble the sandwich: Spread butter or mayonnaise (optional) on one slice of toasted bread. Place a slice of frittata on the bread and top with fresh greens, sliced tomato, avocado, and condiments like mustard or hot sauce.
  6. Top and serve: Add the second slice of bread on top, press gently, slice the sandwich in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Variations: Use grilled vegetables for extra flavor or substitute meats like bacon or sausage for a heartier option.
  • Vegan: Replace eggs with chickpea flour or tofu scramble, use dairy-free cheese, and gluten-free bread for a vegan version.
  • Storage: Store leftover frittata in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The sandwich is best enjoyed fresh, but the frittata can be reheated and used in another sandwich later.
