Add some veggies to your little one's breakfast with this red pepper and kale frittata for baby led weaning. It's easy to make in one pan, make ahead friendly, and the perfect texture for babies and toddlers!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/8 tsp each salt and pepper (optional)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 cup kale, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper (if using) together until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Mince the garlic and finely chop the kale and red pepper.
  4. Heat the oil in an 8-inch nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, red pepper, and kale and cook, stirring, until the pepper softens and kale is wilted.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle evenly with feta.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the veggies.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
  8. Let the frittata cool in the skillet for at least 5 minutes to firm up before removing and cutting.

Notes

Cooking tips:

  • If you don't have a nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet, you will need to add more oil before adding the eggs to prevent sticking.
  • If you do not have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer the cooked veggies to a loaf pan or other small baking dish lined with parchment. Then continue with the recipe as written. You may need to add a few minutes to the bake time.
  • Be sure to let the frittata cool before removing from the pan. If you try to take it out too soon, it will fall apart. Gently run a silicone spatula all the way around the edges to loosen them from the pan so you can slide the whole thing out before cutting.

Substitutions:

  • Feel free to substitute jarred roasted red peppers for fresh.
  • You can substitute spinach or another leafy green for the kale. Be sure to chop any greens finely for babies.
  • Swap feta for any other cheese you like, such as goat cheese or mozzarella.
  • Add fresh basil or oregano when you add the cheese for more flavor!
