Spring Medley Frittata! Celebrate spring’s in-season veggies with this delicious spring medley frittata! Perfect for breakfast, brunch or any meal of the day!
They say when you marry someone, you’re not just marrying that person, but the person’s family too. Lucky for me, when I married Paul, I married into a pretty cool family. We were all living in CA, and we lived like 10 minutes from each other, so needless to say, we got together often.
Easter was always a fun and food-filled holiday for us and there was always Easter brunch, the much anticipated Easter egg hunt and Easter dinner. Yeah, we go big.
This year, we are celebrating Easter Sunday with friends at their place, so I wanted to make something delicious and something that could also travel well. I’m obsessed with all things spring so this frittata is packed with spring’s bounty. I love how you can see the vegetables in this frittata on top. And I stuck the frittata under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the top slightly.
This frittata is quick, easy and delicious . . and I’m kind of inventing something new here. A new way to eat a frittata. I did it with pizza so why not a frittata?
People everywhere will be doing this. You just watch. Salads on foods. It’s the next big thing.
It shouldn’t surprise you that Easter is one of my children’s favorite holidays. . we do stress the significance of the day to my girls and they get it. But their faces light up when the Easter egg hunt begins.
Candy in plastic eggs. Can it get any better?
Normally, I would be stressing a little about brunch, but this year I planned my menu ahead of time and did my shopping early. I still have a little more shopping to do but most of it is done. With one stop into ALDI, I picked up all of my ingredients for my frittata and some essentials for Easter Sunday.
I seriously love shopping at my local ALDI. Everyone is always so nice and it’s quick and efficient and I can always find what I need. Have an ALDI near you? Be sure to stop in on Saturday to take advantage of Easter specials!
A lot of people have asked me about organic products at ALDI. They have organic dairy and produce so you can rest assured you are buying quality foods for your family and saving some money in the process. Everything I purchased for my frittata was only $20.01!! Can you believe that?!
This frittata is packed with fresh, spring vegetables and everything you need to make a delicious frittata!
And the delicious, light and fresh salad that goes on top!
This frittata is the best! Take advantage of spring veggies and make this! Wishing everyone a happy and blessed Easter and . . who else is making a golden egg for their Easter egg hunt?!
Spring Medley Frittata
Ingredients
For the frittata:
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup SimplyNature Organic 2% Milk
- 1 teaspoon Burman’s Dijon Mustard
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup of Happy Farms Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion chopped
- 8 oz. mushrooms sliced
- 5 oz. SimplyNature Organic Baby Spinach
- 5 spears asparagus blanched and cut into 1 to 2 inch pieces
For the salad topping:
- SimplyNature Organic Spring Mix
- Radishes sliced thin
- SimplyNature Balsamic Vinaigrette or balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 500 degrees (or full broil). Using a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dijon mustard and season with salt and pepper. Mix in the mozzarella cheese and set aside.
- Using a cast iron skillet, or any large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the onions and mushrooms and sauté until tender, for about 5 minutes. Add in the baby spinach and blanched asparagus and cook until the spinach leaves become softened, for about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Pour in the egg mixture, and turn the heat down to medium. Cook until set, for about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until golden brown on top. Be sure to watch your frittata carefully. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 5 to 7 minutes before topping with the spring salad mix. Add some sliced radishes if desired and salad dressing. Serve and enjoy!

Salad on pizza has always been a favorite of mine (hello, California Pizza Kitchen!), and salad on frittata sounds even better! The browned top is so incredible. I’m a huge fan of this!
Thank you so much, Mir!!
You are totally right about marrying into the family! Lucky for me, that means I get to have a huge pot of ravioli and meatballs on Christmas Day now. Haha! I love frittatas, though, and this one looks incredible. Happy Friday!! 🙂

Awh, Natalie, that is the best!!! I wish we could move back to be closer together again. . maybe later. . a girl can dream! 😛
Loving this spring-y frittata, Alice! What a great idea to enjoy salad over your food. It’s all going to wind up in the same place anyhow, right? And I bet it lightens up the whole meal.

“Spring in a pan” – love this frittata! And the addition of a salad on top is a great idea! Pinned! Happy Friday!
I love this spring-inspired frittata, Alice! I would love this with so many of my favorite veggies in one place, and this would make such a great dinner, too! Pinned.

I’m all about a good frittata and the fact that you packed this with veggies. That salad topper looks fab too! Happy Easter, Alice! 🙂
What a lovely way to serve a healthy meal with protein and vegetables. This is such a beautiful dish. I’m definitely a fan of frittatas.
Seriously all I want is this frittata. I mean this is a mean frittata right here!
Alice, this frittata is off the chain, my friend. I could eat eggs every day if I could and a healthy, spring-veggie filled frittata is just the way to do it. I love topping foods like pizza and quiche with salad. You’re definitely on the next big trend! The balsamic drizzle looks delicious. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter weekend!
This is the first Easter where we are going to hide eggs for Kai…he’s only 18 months, so who knows if he’ll even know what we’re trying to get him to find! Should be fun, though 😉 Love this frittata, and you are such a trend-setter 😉 We will be seeing salads on frittatas everywhere now! Looks delicious!
I have great in-laws, too—makes holidays so much fun! Love this dinner idea full of fresh veggies! And what a deal—must get to ALDI soon.
This looks perfect for brunch! I love eggs any way I can get them. I hope you’re having a great Easter Alice!
Wow, what an awesome looking frittata- and the fact that you have family close by must make festive holidays that much better. Hope you have a great long weekend!
Your spring frittata dish is making me drool! Great recipe for Easter!
Looks so good and fresh! And with salad on top? Delicious! Unfortunately, no Aldi near me, not even close. It sounds like a great store!
I’m a sucker for anything egg, and asparagus is my favorite. Love this!
Love the fresh Spring toppings on your frittata! Happy Easter Alice! Hope you and your family have a wonderful celebration!
OK, I am getting on board this new trend..salad on all things especially frittata. This will be a great breakfast for dinner recipe!
This frittata is speaking straight to my spring veggie-craving tastebuds! LOVE all the green goodness you piled inside and even more on top! You should totally patent that “salad-on-top-of-things” idea, girl!
I’m so glad you had a wonderful weekend with your family. It’s nice that they live so close by. This frittata totally embraces spring – love it! The fresh greens on top are a fantastic addition as well!
Nice spring frittata! I like the salad on top as well!
Three cheers for the return of asparagus! What a beautiful frittata.
Thanks so much, Jen!
What a fabulous frittata! I love how bubbly and browned it is on top, and I LOVE the salad on top! You can’t beat feeding 6 people for 20 bucks. Aldi is totally the bomb!
Oh, yes please! I love all of the fresh veggies that went into this delicious dish. It sounds like you had a great Easter. This is totally happening this weekend. Pinned!
I didn’t see this before easter – it would have been a great brunch addition. OH WAIT, even though easter is over I still love brunch! This one is definitely going to be served at an upcoming event. 🙂 So fresh and springy!
I LOVE a good frittata, Alice! I can literally see the “spring” in your recipe! Yum!
I think salad on top of a frittata is genius! It’s the perfect contrast of the rich, cheesy, egg frittata and crisp field greens and radishes with the balsamic. YUM!!!!! So delish.
