An easy, healthy mediterranean frittata packed with artichokes, tomatoes, olives and feta, served in individual ramekins with a creamy lemon yogurt sauce.
For today’s recipe, I bring you light and flavorful frittatas. I often make frittatas when we have breakfast for dinner, and this time I decided to have some fun by making them in ramekins. It’s an easy way to make the meal more special, and you can do it with any of your favorite frittatas. These vegetable frittatas take you on a trip to the Mediterranean, without the expensive plane ticket. They are packed with rich flavors from kalamata olives, grape tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts and feta cheese. It’s also a great recipe to switch up your breakfast routine and perfect for a light lunch.
Prep the Vegetables
The best part of this recipe is it super quick to make. Start by cutting some sweet grape tomatoes in half, and add them to a bowl. Second, slice up kalamata olives and add them to the bowl. Black olives work well too. You can also buy the olives pre-sliced. Third, add marinated artichoke hearts to the mix. If the pieces are large, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Lastly, add crumbled feta cheese to the bowl and mix everything together. Set the frittata filling aside.
Whisk the Eggs
The next step is to prepare the eggs. So, whisk the eggs together with heavy cream and water in a large measuring cup. The measuring cup makes pouring easier. Spray your ramekins with non-stick spray. Then, pour the egg mixture in the prepared ramekins, dividing it evenly. If you don’t have ramekins, you could easily make the frittatas in a cupcake pan, in a large oven safe skillet, or in a pie plate.
Add the Filling and Bake
The last step is to add the frittata filling you made to the ramekins. Adding the filling last helps make sure each serving has an even amount of the filling. Put the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake at 400° for 20 minutes.
Make Lemon Yogurt Sauce
While the frittatas are baking, make the yogurt sauce. In a bowl, mix together greek yogurt with the juice and zest from half a lemon. Once it’s mixed together add salt to taste and set the sauce aside.
The frittatas will come out of the oven golden and puffy, kind of like a soufflé. Carefully move the frittatas to plates. Top with more tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts and cheese as you like. Finally, drizzle with the lemon greek yogurt sauce and enjoy.
