Move over, omelets. Frittatas are our new go-to when we're craving eggs. You can dress up frittatas just like an omelet with almost any filling you want (think veggies, bacon, and lots and lots of cheese). But unlike omelets, egg frittatas can serve a family fast. And unlike most egg recipes, a four-serving frittata cooks all at once without any flipping or fuss. Plus, since there's no crust (like quiches), it makes it a healthier breakfast option. Try our favorite fast and healthy frittata recipes to shake up your morning routine, impress at your next brunch, or serve up a quick and delish dinner.

Asparagus and Prosciutto Frittata
When you're craving eggs and bacon in the morning, this prosciutto-filled frittata is a healthier (and delicious) swap. Fresh asparagus spears and prosciutto make a mouthwatering filling, and mixing in a pinch of thyme with the eggs makes this recipe so much better than bland scrambled eggs. To finish it off, we topped this frittata recipe with a layer of cheddar cheese.

Greek-Style Frittata
This gorgeous Greek frittata bears a striking resemblance to your favorite pizza, but it's actually eggs and dried tomato slices that give it the appearance of pizza dough and pepperoni. Roasted red peppers and crumbly feta cheese help give this skillet meal its Greek-inspired flavors, but you can also change up this recipe by using mozzarella cheese or adding basil pesto. No matter how you make it, this healthy frittata is sure to disappear fast.

Bacon, Potato, and Kale Frittata
You can never go wrong with breakfast potatoes and eggs, especially when you turn it into a hearty, healthy frittata recipe. Of course, it's not just potatoes and eggs—this delicious frittata also includes lower-sodium bacon, kale, and onion. The frittata is finished by quickly broiling in the skillet for a delicious, easy 30-minute meal.

Zucchini and Feta Frittata
A little bit sweet thanks to fresh marjoram and a little bit salty courtesy of feta cheese, this healthy frittata has a spectrum of flavors. Fill your skillet with eggs, fresh zucchini, and chopped red onion to make a breakfast dish (or breakfast for dinner) that's as pretty to look at as it is tasty to eat. Be sure to serve toasted ciabatta bread alongside.

Chicken Frittata with Cantaloupe-Tomato Salsa
Even if poultry doesn't usually make its way onto your breakfast or brunch menu, this chicken frittata will earn it a permanent spot on your plate. A hearty mix of shredded chicken, eggs, and kidney beans makes a protein-packed meal that will hold off hunger pangs all morning. To make the healthy frittata even more exciting, we topped it with a tangy salsa made with cherry tomatoes, cantaloupe, and cilantro.

Crab and Asparagus Frittata
This elegant recipe is a brunch showstopper. Not only is it filled with a savory mix of crabmeat and red peppers, but it's topped off with long, slender asparagus spears. You can chop them up and add them to the mix if you want, but your frittata will turn out a little more Instagram-ready if you leave the spears whole.
