Fritti
A savory baked casserole featuring vegetables, cheese, and a fluffy egg batter topping, perfect for family dinners and vegetable lovers seeking comfort food.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place onion, grated mozzarella cheese, green beans, and mushrooms in a greased 9-inch pie plate.
- Whip milk, Bisquick, eggs, salt, and pepper together until well combined.
- Pour the batter over the vegetables in the pie plate and top with sliced tomato.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35 minutes until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider sautéing the onion and mushrooms before adding them to the pie plate. If you don't have Mozzarella, Cheddar or a blend of cheeses can work well. You can also swap the green beans for spinach or kale for a different texture. If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix.
Serving Suggestions
This Fritti pairs well with a fresh salad, such as a Swedish Cucumber Salad, or can be served alongside crusty bread for a more filling meal. For a delightful brunch option, serve it with a side of fresh fruit or a light soup. It’s versatile enough to be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie plate with plastic wrap or transfer individual portions to airtight containers. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the Fritti ahead of time. Assemble it up to the baking step, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, simply add a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure it’s heated through.
What can I use instead of eggs?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, you can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) for each egg. This will help bind the ingredients together while keeping the dish moist.
Can I freeze this Fritti?
Yes, you can freeze the Fritti after it has cooled completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
