A fluffy, protein-rich frittata loaded with fresh vegetables and melted Gouda cheese.

Frittatas are the ultimate kitchen chameleon, perfect for clearing out the fridge while delivering a sophisticated meal. This Creamy Gouda & Vegetable Frittata brings together the sharp, caramel-like notes of Gouda with the tender crunch of fresh broccoli and green bell peppers. Enriched with a splash of cooking cream, the eggs bake into a fluffy, custard-like consistency that feels luxurious yet comes together in minutes. It's a protein-packed, low-carb dish that works just as well for a lazy Sunday brunch as it does for a quick weeknight dinner. The vegetables provide essential vitamins and fiber, while the high-quality fats keep you satiated for hours.

Ingredients

  • 8 large Eggs
  • 60 ml Cooking Cream
  • 150 g Broccoli Florets
  • 1 medium Green Bell Pepper
  • 100 g Gouda Cheese
  • 1 small Red Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat your oven broiler (grill) to high.
  2. 2
    Dice the red onion and green bell pepper. Chop the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets. Minces the garlic.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cooking cream, salt, and black pepper until frothy. Grate the gouda cheese and stir half of it into the egg mixture.
  4. 4
    Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes until softening.
  5. 5
    Add the broccoli and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. 6
    Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle the remaining gouda cheese over the top.
  8. 8
    Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. 9
    Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Chef's Tips

  • If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can cook the vegetables first, transfer them to a greased baking dish, pour the eggs over, and bake at 190°C (375°F) for 15-20 minutes.
  • Cut the broccoli small so it cooks through quickly without needing to be boiled first.
