Can you believe that summer is coming to an end? #cringe.
Except that back to school season means saying goodbye to mugginess and (hopefully) forest fires. Is the air quality as bad where you live as it is here in Vancouver? I'll take the end of summer if we can finally breath smoke-free air again. Insert all the breaking heart emojis over our world on fire.
But since this is a food blog, let's get back to this Tomato Zoodle Frittata …
This is a crazy easy to make, stovetop frittata recipe. Quick saute some onion, zucchini noodles, and cherry tomatoes then pour in some whisked eggs and you've made breakfast.
Tomato Zoodle Frittata: tip #1
Honestly, this is such an easy recipe that it hardly warrants any tips. But I do have one little tip that will make your life a touch easier.
Whisk your eggs in a blender.
That's it. That's all, folks.
While it's easy enough to whisk a couple of egg, whisking a whole bunch of eggs can give your arm quite the workout. Not that tiring your arm muscles is a bad thing, but if we're keeping with the quick and easy theme, a blender does the job the fastest.
You want to whisk the eggs so they are almost liquid and no weird (and creepy IMO) clumps of egg whites remain. This will take several minutes if whisking by hand, or 2.45 seconds in a blender. Your choice!
Do you love zoodle recipes as much as I do? I know the world has probably moved on to the next fad, but I'm still stuck in veggie noodle land.

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- 1 small onion, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 small zucchinis, spiralized (about 1 lb. total)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 8 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon each: salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a medium-sized non-stick or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until it's transparent, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini to the pan and let it cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Push the zucchini to the sides of the pan then add the cherry tomatoes to the middle. Cook until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes.1 teaspoon avocado oil, 1 small onion, 2 cloves garlic, 2 small zucchinis, 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- While the vegetables are cooking, whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper. With this many eggs, I like to do this in a blender as it is very quick to get them well whisked.8 large eggs, ½ teaspoon each: salt and pepper
- Mix the tomatoes and zoodles together in the pan then reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked eggs over the top then cover the pan. Let the frittata cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
Thank you for a great way to use zoodles for breakfast.I just tried this recipe this morning, and the flavors were excellent. I’m not sure why my eggs fell apart when I tried to lift them out of the pan. I ended up having a zoodle scramble. Do you think it’s the type of pan I used to cook them in? Do I need a cast iron skillet?
A well seasoned cast iron or non stick pan works best. If you added extra tomato, or your tomatoes were really juicy, that’s probably what caused it to fall apart. 🙂
Delicious!
I’m happy to hear you liked it!
This was delicious even without any cheese. Will make it again!
So happy you enjoyed it!
Hi! Sounds yummy! I love zucchini!! Can you use frozen zucchini noodles?
I don’t have a spiralizer yet & for kids breakfast during the week I thought this might be easy/ fast for a school day.
Thanks,
Krista
As far as I know, zucchini noodles don’t freeze well. But they do last many days in the fridge. If you spiralized a bunch on Sunday you could keep them in the fridge and use them as needed during the week. This frittata is also good eaten cold!
