This Tomato Corn Potato Sausage Pesto Frittata is perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch. Serve with a fresh fruit salad.
This past Saturday, I made this hearty frittata for my family. I had announced the night before that I had an 11:00 appointment so if anyone wanted to breakfast, they’d need to be up by 10:00. Sure enough, the fear of not having anything to eat was enough to get everyone out of bed.
Frittatas are a great way to use up all the bits and pieces in your refrigerator and take advantage of all the summer vegetables that are in season – in this case, I had a jar of Garlic Scape Paste and Kale Mint Basil Pesto, and an ear of leftover cooked corn. I had sampled a Spanish tortilla at the farmer’s market a few weeks ago made with eggs, potato and onion, so I added a potato into this frittata too.
If you have a farmer’s market nearby, I highly recommend visiting and walking around from stand to stand. Choose whatever appeals to you.
Here are some farm fresh vegetables you might like to add to your frittata:
- cherry tomatoes
- summer squash (saute briefly)
- zucchini (saute briefly)
- bell peppers (red, green, purple)
- broccoli (leftover stir-fry broccoli would be nice)
- cauliflower (leftover roasted cauliflower would be great)
- asparagus (leftover roasted asparagus would be perfect)
- spinach
- kale (saute briefly)
- Swiss chard (saute briefly)
This Tomato Corn Potato Sausage Pesto Frittata is hearty, perfect for brunch, and is a great way to enjoy all the fresh summer produce we’re enjoying right now. Feel free to substitute other fresh vegetables you might find at the farmer’s market.
