Butternut Squash Frittata with Fried Sage
Jan 11, 2026 09:01 AM
This butternut squash frittata recipe strikes a lovely balance between savory and sweet. It’s full of caramelized butternut squash, sautéed onion, and salty Parmesan cheese. Top it with crispy, pan-fried sage for a gourmet meal suitable for breakfast, brunch or lunch.
This warm and satisfying dish is a great contender for holiday mornings. It’s meatless and gluten-free. I modeled the recipe after a memorable brunch experience in Portland years ago so we can enjoy it at home!
