Cobb Salad Frittata

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Turn the classic cobb salad into a warm nutritious meal with this easy recipe for cobb salad frittata! A perfect brunch or light supper when you are looking for all that scrumptious Cobb salad taste but in comfort food form.

How to Make Cobb Salad Frittata

This recipe for Cobb Salad frittata comes from two missions I have lately: first, to turn everything I can think of into frittata form, and second, to leave no leftovers uneaten.  On the day I made this, I had some leftover blue cheese and some leftover chicken in my fridge.

You KNOW I always have bacon and eggs, and I also had about half a head of romaine lettuce.  With all that hanging around, it felt like the universe was trying to tell me that I should make a good old Cobb salad for dinner, but as it turned out, that was also the weekend of the one significant snowstorm we’ve had all year, and I wanted WARM for supper.

And since eggs are an essential part of the classic Cobb salad, that led me down the road of taking all the delectable elements of a Cobb salad, but taking a different route with the egg part.  As in, frittata-sizing it.  Let’s make it!

Here’s How To Make A Cobb Salad Frittata

I started by chopping up the bacon and cooking it until it was crispy.  I scooped it out of the skillet and let it drain, and then I sautéed up some chopped romaine lettuce in the drippings until it was nice and wilted – you can’t have a Cobb salad anything without lettuce.

I put the bacon and wilted lettuce into a deep dish pie plate along with some shredded cooked chicken, some halved cherry tomatoes, a handful of blue cheese and some chopped scallion.  Next, I whisked up some eggs and poured them over the whole thing.  Into the oven it went until everything was nice and golden, and voila!

Now, Cobb salad also always features avocado, and I wasn’t about to leave THAT out…and since I didn’t want to cook it, I chopped it up and scattered it over the wedges.  And thus the Cobb Salad Frittata was born.

Leftovers are grand things!

    Okay, but seriously though… you just NEED something warm when there’s a snowstorm. There’s just no choice in the matter! This frittata would sooo hit the spot right now. I am loving all of the beautiful, bright colors in your photos too. That bright yellow of the egg and the crisp green of the avocados are gorgeous! Love it, Kate. :)

      Even though we’ve gotten off pretty light snowstorm-wise this year, one flake does send me running for the oven. Cookies and bread and frittatas, oh my! :)
