This Salsa Verde Breakfast Frittata is what breakfast dreams are made of. Topped with a salsa verde yogurt sauce, this vegetarian dish is perfect for brunch.
Why does breakfast, my fuuuhhaaavorite meal of the day, have to be traditionally eaten in the morning? I hate waking up early. I just do. Period. Which is whyI love the weekends so much. I get to wake up late AND I get to eat breakfast.
Or should I say brunch.
Okay, let’s be real. Brunch is WAYYY better than breakfast. Especially when it’s as good as this salsa verde frittata.
One of the best things about this dish, aside from all those hidden veggies?, is the double layer of salsa verde flavor. That’s right. DOUBLE. LAYER.
One – salsa verde in the actual frittata.
Two – salsa verde in an insanely easy yogurt sauce that will pretty much change your life.
All you need is Chobani plain Greek yogurt, some salsa verde and some cilantro. Blend until smooth and that’s it. The perfect frittata sauce.
If you’ve been a longtime reader of Isabel Eats, you probably know that I love me some salsa verde. Here are just a few recipes I’ve made over the years featuring salsa verde:
- Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas
- Mexican Salsa Verde Chilaquiles Casserole
- Salsa Verde Queso Dip
- And now this frittata.
If you’re looking to make your own salsa verde, check out my post on how to make your own Easy Salsa Verde recipe. If you’d rather buy it at your local grocery store, some brands that I recommend are here, here and here.
Once everything is done and the frittata has cooled slightly, top it with diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro and avocados.
Because avocados are never a bad idea.
Seriously perfection.
This dish + two slices of really good buttered toast = heaven.

Reduced the recipe to make a frittata for 2 – added a diced jalepeno to the bell pepper & onions z otherwise, followed the recipe. Smaller frittata cooked in 20 min. Didn’t bother with the yogurt-salsa verde sauce (but definitely incuded salsa verde in the frittata). The dish is delicious, super-easy to prep and clean up. This goes in our regular breakfast/brunch rotation.Reply

Hi! This recipe looks fantastic and I can’t wait to try it. I have a question regarding the recipe. Do you add the salsa verde with the onion and bell pepper or do you mix it in with the eggs?Reply
Isabel
Hi Adriana,
You add the salsa verde to the eggs. I’ve updated the recipe to include that info. Thanks for asking and pointing that out to me! I hope you like it 🙂
