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 LOVE that the red and green peppers make it look festive for Christmas too :) So pretty and I’m sure so delicious too!

    Looks wonderful. My son wants pancakes for his 5th birthday dinner on Thurs. I wanted to fix something else too. This will be great.

  13. Cathy B. says

    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.

  18. Barbara says

    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 :)

  20. Amanda says

    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 :)

  25. Julie says

    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.

  32. LaRee says

    So pretty!! I’m not a big fan of cooked peppers (or sundried tomatoes for that matter) but it sure is pretty!

  40. Missy says

    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!

    YUM! Will try this! We make your easy breakfast casserole when we have company. This would be another good one!

  49. Patty says

    I would look at it and admire how beautiful it is before it goes into my mouth to taste the deliciousness. Lol

  53. Tammy Maddox says

    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!

    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

    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.

  68. Jacque says

    Looks great. Unfortunately, 2 or my 3 girls will not eat peppers. Maybe I’ll make it for the rest of us anyway!

  70. Charlotte Moore says

    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.

  81. Melissa says

    I may make this for our Christmas “breakfast” tonight….if I can find sun dried tomatoes. Thanks!

  82. Katie says

    I’m sure I would love it, however, my husbands body would not. What a bummer he’s allergic to eggs.

  83. Tituslady says

    Ohh this looks yummy! I’m not sure I think with sausage I’d like eating more then looking at it :P

  86. Christina says

    I love frittatas! I never even thought of red AND green peppers for a Christmas-y look…what a great idea! :)

  88. Danielle Puffer says

    I’ve also haven’t made a fritata before- sounds like a quiche? Looks great- I can almost smell it!

  97. Amber W. says

    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…

  98. Crystal says

    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. :)

  104. Alecia says

    Perfect!! I’ve been looking for something like this to cook for breakfast for company next week. Thanks!!

  114. Michelle Turner says

    I’ve been wanting a recipe for a “crustless quiche,” I think this frittata recipe will be perfect!

  123. carrie says

    I have never made/eaten an fritata or a quiche but that picture looks wonderfull and the idea of adding the sausage, mmm….sounds like something worth trying. thanks :)

  130. Melissa says

    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!

  133. Gigi says

    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!

  140. Monika says

    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. :)

  142. Andrea says

    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!! :)
