Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 6 eggs
- 2 tablespoons sour cream, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Mexican seasoning, or to taste
- ¾ cup salsa, drained
- 1 tomato, seeded and finely chopped
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, or to taste
- 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
- 1 jalapeno pepper, coarsely chopped (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Beat eggs in a large bowl with a fork until slightly frothy. Mix in sour cream and Mexican seasoning. Add salsa, tomato, onion, and cilantro. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 3/4 cup Mexican cheese blend on top; stir in gently with a fork.
- Bake in the preheated oven until firm and springs back when gently pressed, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup Mexican cheese blend and jalapeno on top. Continue baking until cheese bubbles and turns golden, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Let frittata stand for 10 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife.
- Packaged taco seasoning can be substituted for Mexican seasoning, but use sparingly as it is very salty.

Very flavorful! Didn’t taste just another egg casserole. Daughter suggested serving with a dollop of sour cream on top. Also think it would be nice with some diced ham or chicken mixed in as the texture was fairly the same all the way through.
Fantastic!
I love this frittata for brunch, or lunch, or even a light weeknight dinner. I added some extra spices, but the most valuable ingredient I chose was a fresh salsa from my supermarket. It incorporates fresh tomato, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño, so you can cut back in those ingredients, if you like. Among the spices I added are cumin, Mexican oregano, and cayenne.
I really enjoyed this and am kind of surprised since it had no meat in it… most of the time I make these with bacon ham or sausage in them. I was running low on whole eggs so I made mine with half whole eggs and half egg whites from the carton, Didnt have a jalapeno so I added a but added a bit of crushed red pepper… yum
