I can’t decide which I like best about this dish: looking at it…or eating it. I love that the red and green peppers make this fritata look festive for Christmas. This is very easy to make and can be put together ahead of time and baked just before serving. If you want to add a little extra protein, throw in some leftover cooked chicken or sausage.
Sweet Pepper Fritata
1 small onion, chopped
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
3/4 cup chopped red pepper
2 Tablespoons butter
5 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Saute onion and peppers in the butter for 5-7 minutes or until veggies are tender and your family comes running into the kitchen to see what smells so good. Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients in a bowl. Stir sauteed vegetables into egg mixture. Pour into an ungreased pie dish. Bake in a 350° oven for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle of the fritata comes out clean. Serves 6-8.
Which would you rather do – look at this, or eat it? Or maybe you could just really enjoy looking at it while you eat it. ;)
I would enjoy looking, smelling and eating this!
Ummmmmmmm – that looks very yummy and easy to adapt.
yummy! That looks delicious!
Mmmmmmmm. Yum!
Looks good!!
Easy to throw together for guests! Great idea!
this looks awesome! Can you assemble it the night before?
Yummy! Eat eat eat!
Looks delicious! Will definitely try it!
I LOVE that the red and green peppers make it look festive for Christmas too :) So pretty and I’m sure so delicious too!
I would enjoy looking at it but not a fan of all the peppers.
Looks wonderful. My son wants pancakes for his 5th birthday dinner on Thurs. I wanted to fix something else too. This will be great.
This looks delicious, and I’m sure it would taste delicious, too! I think I’ll try making this soon; thanks for sharing the recipe.
So Pretty!!!
This looks delicious and yet simple to make!
This looks like a great Christmas recipe. I love egg dishes I can bake in the oven.
I think it is the cheese that makes me want to eat it!
Oh yum! This is definitely something I would love to eat; however, no one else in my family will touch the brightly colored peppers, so I will just have to enjoy looking at the picture while I eat eggs and cheese with a side of raw yellow and orange peppers :)
I vote look at it and then eat it!!!
I think there’s a very good chance I’ll be serving that on Christmas morning. You know, a little protein to balance out the cinnamon rolls :)
Wow, this looks really good!
That looks yummy!
This looks yummy!
That looks very good with all those sweet peppers. Thanks!
This does look awesome. I am going to give this a try.. ..I have never made a dish like this before, but it looks and sounds wonderful.
Looks awesome. It really makes me wish I weren’t allergic to eggs!
Yum!
I think I wouldn’t want to look at it if I couldn’t eat it! :)
Looks very good..Will try this recipe..Thanks
I would love to eat it. I love peppers!!
I make this all the time! It’s yummy.

So pretty!! I’m not a big fan of cooked peppers (or sundried tomatoes for that matter) but it sure is pretty!
I think I would rather eat itr than look at it!
That looks DELICIOUS
I so need to make this. We have more eggs than we know what to do with right now. Yum.
I’ll bet it smells & tastes as good as it looks!
Eat it..it looks delicious!
I make fritatas often for a quick supper. My family likes broccoli cheddar!
I would love to try it. Sadly, I don’t think my kids would eat it.
I love egg dishes like this – one dish meal! I wouldn’t use the green peppers though, they don’t ‘like me’ very much, if you get my drift. But the red peppers and cheese…yum! I’d probably add some dried parsley to give it some Christmas color!
That looks good!
how Christmasy! Do you have a good source for organic peppers?
Looks Yummy! A good Christmas breakfast/brunch idea!
So pretty to look at but I would have to sub out the peppers to be able to eat it.
It looks so yummy.
My hubby would love that for breakfast.
I would love to eat that!! Thanks for the chance to win.
YUM! Will try this! We make your easy breakfast casserole when we have company. This would be another good one!
I would look at it and admire how beautiful it is before it goes into my mouth to taste the deliciousness. Lol
Mmmmmm, that looks awesome! I would have loved that this cold winter storm morning!
This looks delicious.
Yay for another gluten free bit of yumminess! Thank you!
I will be looking at it AS I’m eating it! I wish I had read this before I made breakfast :o)
Could this be made the night before then cooked in the morning? We loved the orange coolers, thank you for these wonderful recipes. I love your site!

This looks yummy!! I love frittatas.
I would enjoy looking at it WHILE I eat it! :-) Yum!
I always think of this as the cheater omelet! So much easier. :)
This looks so yummy! :)

My stomach is growling looking at that picture!
This looks yummy, going to give it a try!
Looks yummy. Love eggs and vegetables together. :)
Thank you for posting this with the lovely seasonal colours! Now I need to find a reason to make it!
I just wanted to say this looks absolutely gorgeous. I have been following your website for a little while. We basically do the same things. I just needed some new ideas. We are on a 500 acre hay/cattle ranch. We raise rare chickens(you can’t find in any normal hatchery),goats for cheese and milk/meat(goat sausage is scrummy).We are going to do the milk heifer cow and AI for beef in the freezer.All 4 of our kids are avid hunters 3 girls and 1 boy ranging from 13-7.We homeschool and always have a large garden. We especially specialize in berry’s from Huckleberry to yellow raspberry’s.Thank you for all that you do and these wonderful recipes.Blessings

Looks delicious. Might not wait until Christmas!
Merry Christmas!!
Definitely want to eat this! Looks delicious!
This looks yummy. Maybe even with some spinach thrown in.
This looks/sounds yummy but my husband can’t eat the peppers so I’ll have to settle for looking at it until I can make it for my friends.
Looks great. Unfortunately, 2 or my 3 girls will not eat peppers. Maybe I’ll make it for the rest of us anyway!
I’d eat it, definitely! Makes me want some breakfast right now!
I would rather look at it, but my husband would for sure love to eat it. He loves omelets with peppers and onions. This is right up his alley.
I was going to make quiche for dinner, but I think I’ll make this instead. Looks really yummy!
I wish my family would eat items with eggs! This looks very pretty!
Looks wonderful! And you’re right, the red and green are perfect for Christmas.
Looks good, never had one!
The frittata looks good; maybe I’ll fix it for Christmas brunch at our house.
Looks Yummy!!
It looks so festive!
My husband would love this.
I think this will definitely be on the menu Christmas morning.
Looking, smelling, and eating–all at the same time would be best for me.
I may make this for our Christmas “breakfast” tonight….if I can find sun dried tomatoes. Thanks!
I’m sure I would love it, however, my husbands body would not. What a bummer he’s allergic to eggs.
Ohh this looks yummy! I’m not sure I think with sausage I’d like eating more then looking at it :P
Love that it can be made-ahead. And it’s pretty too!
Generally, I prefer my peppers uncooked, but this certainly looks festive!
I love frittatas! I never even thought of red AND green peppers for a Christmas-y look…what a great idea! :)
I’ve never made a fritata before but I’m thinking I need to try this.
I’ve also haven’t made a fritata before- sounds like a quiche? Looks great- I can almost smell it!
I am going to try this. It looks yummy!
This looks delicious, I love frittata. Now, if only my kids wouldn’t pick around the peppers :)
Just what I needed—-an idea for Christmas breakfast! Can’t wait to try it!!
Oh my goodness this sounds SO good! :)
I’d eat it! And probably share it with my family :)
Heather
Fritatas are awesome!
Look and eat!
This looks sooooo good.
oooh this looks delicious! Too bad my husband doesn’t like peppers :( Maybe I’ll just have to make it for our company this week…
That does look and smell delicious! I think I’ll add some mushrooms to the sauteing veggies when I make this for Christmas brunch. Thanks for another incredible recipe! I love your blog. :)
I am sure my husband would love this. Thanks for the recipe.
I definitely love easy dishes like this one!
we love eggs around here! looks delicious!
Yummy!! :)

Oh My…I think I could eat 1/2 of it,and look at the rest…lol.
I’ve been wanting a recipe for a “crustless quiche,” I think this frittata recipe will be perfect!

YUM!!!!!!! We make this too!

Can’t wait to try it for a family brunch!
Looks Yumm-O!!!

Looks delicious…I’m going to have to try this one for Christmas morning!
I don’t want to go back to the store, but I don’t have any red bell pepper and I want to make this!
That looks yummy!
Looks like a Christmas wreath! Looks yummy!
I make several of these every week, but I use less egg, no salt or W sauce, Pam instead of butter, and I also add spinach!
we raise chickens, lots of eggs, so always looking for new ways to use them.
You’ve solved my dilemma for Christmas breakfast! festive and easy!
Looks good!
Food almost always tastes better when it looks good! :)
We substituted kale for the green pepper- such a beautiful and easy Christmas breakfast!
So…I’m making this for dinner tonight. :)
This looks so good! My husband doesn’t care for peppers or tomatoes…I wonder if I could sneak this by him? If not, more for the rest of us. :)
This looks so good. I will be trying this one.
I popped this yummy dish into the oven this morning before work, and shared it with my colleagues at our holiday breakfast. It was a hit, and I’m getting so many complements! Thanks Laura, for making this recipe available to all of us folks trying to better our culinary skills. :) Have an awesome Christmas!! :)
We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
