Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
-
2 cups finely shredded cabbage (green, purple, or a mix)
-
4 large eggs
-
1/4 cup milk or cream
-
1/2 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Gruyère, or mozzarella)
-
1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill), optional
Optional toppings: Sriracha, avocado slices, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
-
If using onion, sauté for 1–2 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 2: Cook the Cabbage
-
Add the shredded cabbage and minced garlic to the skillet.
-
Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly wilted but still vibrant.
-
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Tip: Cabbage cooks quickly, and keeping a little crunch adds texture to your frittata squares.
Step 3: Mix the Eggs
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk or cream until smooth.
-
Stir in shredded cheese and optional herbs.
Step 4: Combine and Cook
-
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cabbage in the skillet.
-
Reduce heat to medium and cook without stirring for 4–5 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly firm but still soft.
-
Cover the skillet with a lid to help the top cook through.
Pro Tip: For an extra golden top, place the skillet under a broiler for 1–2 minutes after cooking.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
-
Let the frittata cool for 1–2 minutes.
-
Cut into squares or wedges and serve hot.
-
Garnish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of extra cheese.
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy with a fresh green salad, avocado, or your favorite dipping sauce for a quick and complete meal.

Make it crispy: Finish under a broiler for 1–2 minutes to get a slightly golden, crispy top.
