When I was kid, my mom cooked cottage cheese Frittata and served it to my big family members but the thing is, that day our home was filled with more family members, and my mom served this recipe plainly without any side dishes, it looked unproper serving that doesn’t add a kick to the dish. you never do this mistake when there is a big serving. So, I am suggesting some serving ideas to look more delicious Frittata.

Serving Suggestions for Cottage Cheese Veggie Italian Frittata Recipe

  1. Hash browns- hash brown is the best combination for Frittata. Mouthwatering while writing this article, take a look to feel the same deliciousness. Heat the oil in medium size frying pan. when oil gets heated add on grated potatoes, potatoes should not be chunky in one place so, lay them out equivalently throughout the pan. Drizzle some salt and pepper. If the potatoes are cooked golden brown then you can flip the other side. After getting both sides golden brown. It is ready to serve with Frittata.
  2. Grilled green beans- take a fresh green bean and mix it with olive oil, salt and pepper. Directly place the green bean on the oven grates. Don’t mind about the charred mark, it doesn’t change the taste. You can use a grill basket to avoid such char marks. In about 5 minutes, grill green beans on the oven grates, and use the spatula to turn over the beans. Take out the beans after grilling. Mizzle with lemon juice for high deliciousness.
  3. Cucumber salad- cucumber is a fresh and healthy vegetable, and it is the best way to complete the Frittata dish. Take a 2-chopped cucumber and add half an onion. Mix it with 1 tablespoon white sugar or honey, 2 tablespoon cider vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon salt and pepper. Or you can serve a fresh plain cucumber. Don’t need to peel the cucumber.

The previously mentioned dishes are the best delicious recipes to serve with Frittata, many side dishes are there to serve with Frittata, but I chose the best, most delicious, and healthy side dish among several.
