This quick and easy ham and cheese frittata recipe is the perfect breakfast or brunch dish. Similar to a crustless quiche, it's packed with protein and flavor - it will become a family favorite in no time!
When we have overnight guests, I love to serve something that feels a bit special, but that's not too fussy or over-indulgent. This ham and cheese frittata checks all the boxes!
It's also light and healthy, yet hearty and satisfying. I love that it's loaded with protein from eggs, Greek yogurt, vegetables, cheese and lean, smoky ham. The creamy goat cheese and fresh herbs add a bit of gourmet flair - no crust required!
Best of all? You can prep the egg mixture the night before, then simply pour, cook, and bake in the morning. It’s a beautiful, make-ahead breakfast or brunch dish that consistently earns rave reviews.
Whether served fresh out of the oven or packed up for later, this savory frittata always feels just a little bit fancy, without any fuss. And the leftovers are just as delicious, making it ideal for busy weekdays too.
Whether you're hosting guests, planning a weekend brunch, or just want something nourishing and flavorful available in your fridge, this Fresh Herb, Ham and Goat Cheese Frittata is the answer!
