Sweet Pepper Fritata

December 20, 2011 by Laura 143 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

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 FritataYum

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 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

    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!

    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!

    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. :)

    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!! :)
