Veggie Frittata Slices
This oven-baked frittata packed with spinach, tomatoes, and peppers slices neatly for grab-and-go lunches.
Sodium note
Eggs are naturally low in sodium, so skipping added salt and leaning on herbs and roasted vegetables keeps this dish light.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup diced yellow onion
- 1/4 cup shredded unsalted or low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Black pepper to taste
Method
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9-inch pie dish or oven-safe skillet.
- 2
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion and bell pepper for 4-5 minutes until softened.
- 3
Add the spinach and cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.
- 4
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- 5
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, sprinkle with cheese and basil, and transfer to the oven.
- 6

Substitutions
- Use egg whites for half the eggs to lighten the dish while keeping it protein-rich.
- Dairy-free cheese alternatives can replace the shredded cheddar.
- Frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) works well instead of fresh.
Tips
- Slice and refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days; each piece reheats in the microwave in about a minute.
- Any quick-cooking vegetable you have on hand, like zucchini or mushrooms, can be swapped in.
- Serve warm or at room temperature alongside a simple green salad.
