When you're down to 2 eggs but your fridge is exploding with veggies, it's time to embrace chaos—in the most delicious way.
This isn't your typical fluffy, golden frittata. This is what happens when brunch dreams meet real-life limitations: not enough eggs, too many veggies, and zero desire to follow a proper recipe. But you know what? It worked. Kind of. It’s part frittata, part veggie sauté, part improvised salad, and somehow it all comes together in a weirdly satisfying, beautifully messy dish. If you’ve ever looked at a recipe and thought “close enough,” this one's for you.
Ingredients
-
2 eggs (yep… just two)
1 small zucchini, chopped
-
½ green bell pepper, chopped
-
½ onion, sliced
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
Olive oil for the pan
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
For the messy fresh topping:
-
A few fresh basil leaves
-
Extra slices of green bell pepper
-
A handful of cucumber slices
-
A dramatic drizzle of mayonnaise
Instructions
-
Sauté your veggies in a little olive oil over medium heat: start with the onion and garlic, then add the zucchini and green pepper. Cook until soft and golden.
-
Crack in your 2 heroic eggs. Beat them lightly in a bowl with salt and pepper, then pour over the veggie mix.
-
Realize immediately: this is not enough egg.
-
Let it cook anyway, bravely. Cover with a lid to help it set.
-
Once the bottom is browned and the top is just about firm-ish, slide it out onto a plate. It will look rustic. That’s part of the charm.
-
Top with wild abandon: cucumber slices, more bell pepper, basil leaves, and an unapologetic zigzag of mayo.
-
Eat like it was always meant to be this way.
🌿 Why It’s Great:
This low-egg, high-vegetable rogue frittata is full of flavor, color, and crunchy freshness. It’s also ridiculously satisfying and perfect for fridge clean-out days. Plus, who said frittatas have rules?
🧊 Storage & Tips
-
Best eaten fresh (it’s already fragile).
-
Add a slice of toast or leftover rice underneath for extra body.
-
Want more structure next time? Use 4 eggs. But also… maybe don’t.
