Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. Although it may not feel like it, we are on Spring Break this week. With both Passover and Easter this week, I wanted to create a recipe that would be appropriate for either celebration. Eggs, to me, personify spring and they are one of my favorite protein choices. I took the spirit of the season and added into my Spring Carrot and Pea Frittata.
Spring Carrot and Pea Frittata
When I think about the foods of spring, carrots and peas immediately come my mind along with eggs. Why not combine them all into one delicious Spring Carrot and Pea Frittata? Since eggs are featured prominently in both Passover seders and Easter celebrations, seem like the perfect week to eat them.
I have shared my how to make a killer veggie Frittata in under 30 minutes recipe here and a fun Black bean and tortilla egg casserole here. Eggs are a large part of my vegetarian diet. For me, they are the perfect way to get a high quality, low calorie protein into my meals. Plus, frittatas are just so easy to make. I often prepare them for dinner and then eat the leftovers for breakfast.
I used spiralized carrots in this Spring Carrot and Pea Frittata however, there is no need to go the trouble as thinly sliced carrots would work just as well. If you are planning on serving the frittata at a holiday meal, the spiralized carrots make a nice presentation. No need to cook the carrots in advance as they will become tender enough while baking.
Fresh peas are one of my favorite veggies. I simply steamed them in the microwave for 2 minutes with a little water and they were perfect. The leftovers will get sprinkled into salads this week or added to stir fries.

Eggs are by far my favorite protein! I love the spirilized presentation, very cool idea.
Thanks so much have a fantastic week
I would never have thought to add peas or carrots to eggs. This sounds good though!
They go together very well!
This sounds great! I love frozen peas as well, they are so tasty and handy to have on hand.
Yes you can use frozen peas as well but I find they are a little mushier.
How pretty is this? I love the addition of feta cheese! I’ll have to try this. I love anything with eggs.
Thanks! I am always looking for new ways to do eggs so I don’t get bored
We’re having the double birthday celebration for my parents this weekend (my Dad turned 92 yesterday) and so for the first time kind of skipping Passover — yes, there will be real cake. Hey, how often do you turn 90 & 92 LOL?
Peas aren’t actually one of my favorite veggies. I don’t mind them, but I rarely eat them.
Well if I make it to 90, I will probably eat cake everyday!! Have a fantastic celebration with them
Delish! I’ve never actually made a fritatta, but it looks a lot easier than I expected! Have a great Monday 🙂
Could not be easier! You can do it
Oh how I wish I wasn’t allergic to carrots 🙁 This looks really good!
I have never heard of anyone being allergic to carrots! I think you could sub them out with zucchini and that would work well too
I eat a lot of egg too! I love this healthy frittata! Thanks for hosting.
Thanks for joining us today!
That looks delicious! I love how colorful it is too, definitely seems to scream Spring.
Thanks! Now if we could just have it feel like spring out there
My mom always made quiche and caramel rolls for Easter and would make me my own crustless quiche, aka frittata. Not sure what’s on the menu this weekend at my parents but I know we’ll be making bread for National Sourdough Day!
Caramel rolls sound amazing too! Have fun at your parents house this weekend
I love eggs but never had a frittata! I need to figure out what I’m making for Easter! It’s almost here!!
What you have never had one?! We need to rectify that ASAP 🙂
Ah I see we were on the same frittata wavelength! I like the addition of peas, I never thing of them as a breakfast vegetable. I’ll have to add it to my yofu frittata next time 🙂
Yes they are a fun addition hope you give it a try
Whenever I don’t know what to cook for dinner I make a frittata but I’ve never made one with carrots and feta. What a great combination – the salty feta (eggs always need salt) and the sweet carrots – yum!
Yes exactly they blend so nicely together
I’ve never made a frittata before! This one looks good!
We need to change that ASAP! It’s so easy
What a perfect spring breakfast recipe!
Thanks so much!
This dish looks so fresh and delicious. A great way to welcome spring!
I think so too! Thanks Abbey
I’m not hosting, but I still want to make this!
Well I think you should! I was thinking of making another one for our Seder too for the veggies
That frittata looks delicious!
thanks so much! Have a great week
In a million years, I would have never thought to put carrots in eggs! I love the unique twists you put on things!
Oh it’s a great spring combo! And thanks 🙂
YAY for including Passover in the holiday mix. These Meatless Monday recipes always gives me good ideas!
Of course! I may make one this week for our seder so I have something to eat as well
I would never think to combine those veggies with eggs, but why not? I’m sure it is tasty!
Super delicious I promise!
I have no idea what we are doing for Easter. I guess that means not much! I wouldn’t have thought to do this combo in a fritatta, but I think it would work well.
I think you would like it!
Oh man. We LOVE frittatas in our house. It’s a weekend staple. Will have to try this one next weekend!
Great hope you all enjoy this combination
I love frittatas! Looks so yummy with all those veggies
Me too! They are aren’t they?
Some super tasty recipes here 🙂 I will definitely try some of those.
Thanks so much!
I want this in my life – looks so yummy!
It’s so easy too! Hope you are doing better this week
I loved seeing this on IG and now that I see the recipe, I love it even more. Carrots are such a great add!
Thanks so much it’s fun to mix up the veggies every season
Not hosting Easter this year, but I do need to bring a dish of some sort to our family dinner on Sunday. Maybe I’ll suggest this to the host.
Great that would be fantastic!
A delicious frittata! Love this meatless idea!
Thanks so much! One of my go to meals for sure
