That’s where we come in. If you want to change up your brunch habits, check out our favorite frittata recipes below. Not only are they all mouth-wateringly delicious and look gorgeous on the table, but they are also super easy to make!

We love serving this dish with a fresh and zingy salad. 

6. Ham, Mushroom, And Spinach Frittata

15. Full English Frittata With Smoky Beans

If you are a fan of a traditional English breakfast but fancy trying out something new, this recipe is ideal. It incorporates all of the best aspects of a full English breakfast but it is healthier, easier to make, and arguably, more delicious than a full English breakfast alone.
