How to Cook a Microwave Frittata (6 Steps)
A frittata is a simple egg dish often made in the oven. Although there is no starchy bread component, a finished frittata looks like a flat "egg pancake." A microwave frittata is a simple breakfast alternative to the oven-cooked version that dirties very few dishes and uses only a few basic ingredients.
Things You'll Need
- Four eggs
- Wire whisk
- Optional garnishes
- Additional ingredients like bacon, cheese or vegetables
- Salt and pepper
- Microwaveable dish
- Cooking spray
Instructions
-
Beat four eggs thoroughly with a wire whisk until smooth. Be sure to use a bowl large enough to accommodate additional frittata ingredients.
-
Incorporate additional ingredients that you like. For instance, bacon, sausage, cheese or vegetables are a delicious addition to any microwave frittata. Adding ingredients can make your frittata heftier and more filling.
-
Add salt and pepper to taste. Other spices like thyme, oregano or paprika make nice seasonings in a frittata.
-
Pour the beaten ingredients into a microwaveable glass dish. A flat dish is best, as your frittata should come out looking a bit like an egg pancake. Be sure to coat the dish with cooking spray for easy removal of the egg.
-
Cook on medium power for four minutes. Carefully monitor your microwave cooking to avoid a chewy or tough frittata.
-
Cut into four pieces and serve. Frittata is great served hot or cold and cut into smaller or larger pieces according to appetite. Cheese, green onions, sour cream or salsa make tasty garnishes for a finished frittata.
