Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 tsp (5 ml) olive oil
  • 4 oz (113 g) mushrooms, sliced
  • ¼ cup (37 g) cherry tomatoes, sliced or quartered
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • ¼ cup (8 g) fresh spinach, chopped
  • 6 eggs
  • ½ cup (57 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp (6 g) Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp (5 g) Italian seasoning

How To Make Slow Cooker Spring Vegetable Frittata

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Lightly coat a 4½- to 5-quart (4.5- to 5-L) slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, green onions, and spinach. Cook for about 4 minutes, until the spinach wilts. Transfer the vegetables to the slow cooker.
  3. Mix the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cheddar, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Pour the mixture over the vegetables in the slow cooker.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours. The frittata is ready when it’s set in the middle.
  5. Storage: Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. This dish is not suitable for freezing.  

Recipe Tips

  • Use fresh veggies: For the best flavor, choose fresh mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach. If you use frozen spinach, make sure to drain it well.
  • Don’t skip the cheese: The combination of cheddar and Parmesan gives the frittata a creamy texture and rich flavor.
  • Check cooking time: Slow cookers vary, so keep an eye on your frittata towards the end of cooking. It’s done when the center is firm.
  • Add more veggies: Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or asparagus for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Use low-fat cheese: For a lighter version, you can swap in low-fat cheddar or use a reduced-fat Parmesan.

Recipe FAQs and Variations

Can I Make This Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can prepare the vegetable mix the night before and refrigerate it. In the morning, just pour the egg mixture over and cook.

Can I Use Different Vegetables?

Absolutely! Try bell peppers, zucchini, or broccoli for a tasty twist. Just make sure to chop them small enough to cook evenly.

Can I Use a Different Cheese?

Yes, feel free to use mozzarella, feta, or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.

Can I Make This Without a Slow Cooker?

Yes, you can bake it in the oven. Pour the egg mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25–30 minutes.

Can I Freeze Leftovers?

While frittata doesn’t freeze as well as some other dishes, you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the microwave or oven.
