This dairy free frittata is the perfect balanced breakfast for a busy morning. I love having ready-to-go breakfasts so I don’t have to spend time cooking or deciding what to eat. The combo of protein, carbs and fiber will keep you fueled for the start of your day.
Eating a balanced breakfast supports your gut, hormones and metabolism. If you’re someone who sometimes skips breakfast, having something prepped ahead of time will make it easier to support your body by breaking that habit!
BLT Inspired Dairy Free Frittata
This dairy free frittata is full of flavor and can be easily adapted to whatever ingredients you have in your fridge. So many egg-based breakfast dishes rely on dairy but I promise you won’t even miss it here! Of course, if you aren’t sensitive to dairy you can feel free to use regular milk or sprinkle some cheese on top.
I always like to add hash browns as a carb source (for energy) but will switch up the other ingredients based on what I have around. This BLT-inspired frittata came about because I happened to have bacon, arugula (or lettuce for BLT purposes) and tomatoes leftover from the previous week. If you don’t need it to be dairy free you could sprinkle some feta cheese on top for extra flavor.

You can make this recipe as is or if you feel like getting creative swap out some of the ingredients! I recommend keeping the hash browns as it makes for a heartier breakfast. Some of my other favorite fillings are:
- Breakfast sausage
- Chorizo
- Spinach
- Leftover roasted vegetables
- Shredded Zucchini
