This Sheet Pan Spinach Tomato Ricotta Frittata is perfect for meal prep or feeding a group for breakfast. The savory Italian flavors are great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Are you a breakfast person or do you just grab a cup of coffee on the way out the door and call it good? I’m definitely a breakfast person. Between early morning runs, weightlifting at the gym and going to a spin cycling class, I’m basically a bottomless pit of hungry in the morning. Skipping breakfast is not an option for me and it’s necessary to help my body recover after all of the physical activity and prevents me from being a hangry b*tch if you know what I mean.
In my opinion one of the best ways to combat hunger throughout day is to eat breakfast and by that I don’t mean a bowl of sugary cereal or a donut. Starting the morning with something sugary and sweet probably isn’t the best idea. Sure it’s fine every now and then, but have you ever noticed how much you continue to crave sugar throughout the day after doing that?
Having something savory and protein rich like this Sheet Pan Spinach Tomato Ricotta Frittata is a great way to start the day. Pair it with a slice of whole grain toast, oatmeal or a piece of fruit and you’ll be crushing your morning!
I’d never tried making a frittata in a sheet pan, but I think I’m converted. It’s super easy and you can cut the frittata into neat squares making them perfect for meal prep. This recipes makes 6 servings or 4 if you need a big breakfast like I do.
Frittatas are a great way to use up any leftover or about to go bad vegetables in the fridge. You could also add in any leftover cooked meat you have for extra protein. I went with spinach and tomatoes in this version and seasoned it with Italian seasoning. It’s a nice combination paired with the ricotta cheese and the parmesan sprinkled on top.
This Sheet Pan Spinach Tomato Ricotta Frittata is not only great for breakfast, but lunch or dinner as well. Enjoy!

It was quick, easy and taste very delicious. I cooked for 12 minutes. I didn’t change any of your recipe. Then, I used the broiler to brown a little more on top. I also like how it doesn’t have a lot of cheese.
Can you sub dairy milk for almond milk?
Absolutely. I often sub regular milk with unsweetened almond milk.
What are the measurements of the sheet pan you used
Hi Pam. It’s a quarter size sheet pan, approximately 9″x13″.
Does this reheat well if I’m meal prepping? Eating my way through a whole sheet pan might take me all week, lol
Hi Ali, the frittata reheats very well and works great for meal prep!

Do you think cottage cheese could be subbed for ricotta?
Absolutely. Just make sure and use one that isn’t really runny. Good Culture is the brand I always buy because it’s nice and thick.
