Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs beaten well
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin preferably pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon adjust to taste
  • 1/4 cup toasted nuts chopped, such as walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese optional, for added richness
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for greasing and cooking
  • Salt and pepper to taste Salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Frying pan or oven-safe skillet
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until they’re smooth and slightly frothy, filling the bowl with a light aroma of eggs.
  3. Stir in the pumpkin puree and ground cinnamon until evenly combined, creating a thick, orange-tinted mixture.
  4. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then gently fold in most of the toasted nuts and shredded cheese if using, distributing them evenly throughout.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared skillet, spreading it out evenly with the spatula. You should see it settle smoothly and start forming a gentle bubble on the surface.
  6. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set with a slight jiggle.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for a few minutes—this helps it set further and makes slicing easier.
  8. Slice into wedges and serve warm, garnished with a few extra toasted nuts if desired for added crunch and visual appeal.

Notes

Feel free to customize by adding sliced apples, sautéed kale, or extra herbs for variety. Ensure the frittata cools slightly before slicing for clean cuts.
