This ratatouille frittata is something special. It's Whole30 compliant, gluten-free, and dairy-free. Perfect for a family breakfast or brunch gathering! Incredibly flavorful and healthy at the same time.
Our family has decided to do the Whole30 diet. So you know what that means... Time to get creative with the food! Over the years, I've found that the only times I'm successful with dieting is when I make a concerted effort to make delicious food. So here's one of my weekend creations - a delicious ratatouille frittata!
I Cannot Lie to You...
This recipe requires a good amount of work. Not difficult work. But it just takes some time to make this dish look stunning. But, sometimes it's worth it for that "Wow!" factor - which this delivers, both with appearance and flavor! I highly recommend getting a high-quality v-blade mandoline slicer
. We've owned several over the years, but the one pictured above has proven to be worth the investment.
You'll Notice a Difference
Traditional ratatouille contains eggplant. I don't really like eggplant. Well, unless it's breaded, fried, and covered with cheese and sauce. So, for this dish, I decided to switch it out for potatoes. It worked. I mean, it really worked!
How to make Ratatouille Frittata
Using a mandoline, thinly slice potatoes...
...and place them in cold water.
Also, using a mandoline, slice zucchini, squash, and tomatoes. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In 10-inch nonstick skillet - arrange zucchini, squash, potatoes, and tomatoes in an alternating circular pattern...
...around outside of pan.
Then make an inner circle going the opposite direction.
Drizzle olive oil around the outside of pan and in the cracks of veggies.
Then sprinkle with 2 tsp. of salt.
Place skillet uncovered in oven for 40 minutes.
Move skillet to stovetop and cook over medium-high heat...
Meanwhile, in a large bowl - combine eggs and 2 tsp. of salt. Whisk well.
...until juices have evaporated (about 15 minutes).
Once juices are evaporated - gently add eggs to skillet...
...and allow to settle for about 30 seconds.
Move skillet back to oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, slice like a pie, and enjoy!
And this is the AMAZING Result…

What is the Whole30 diet??
Chef Gary
Basically, it's whole foods for 30 days. No wheat, no dairy, no legumes, no alcohol - in a nutshell. All the fun stuff 🙁

I'm on my 4th W30, day 20. My hubby and I have decided every Jan, April and October we will Whole30 it. Works for us. Food is DELICIOUS. Miss certain things, but you can do anything for 30 days.

Oh my goodness, thanks for sharing! This my next meal.

This is was very nice but I did something wrong. I whisked 2 tsp of finely ground Himalayan salt into the eggs, but the salt didn’t dissolve. After I poured the eggs the salt settled on the bottom of the pan and every bite of the bottom of the frittata was disgustingly salty. But the top 95% was delicious! Anyway- to others to who make this- beware. Thanks for the recipe!
