Get ready to treat your taste buds to the world’s most delicious Mexican veggie and cheese frittata recipe!
Cotija is like feta’s cooler cousin. Salty, creamy, irresistible and a titch dryer, which makes it perfect for every recipe under the sun.
But don’t just take our word for it. Here are some rave reviews from other ingredients:
“I always thought Feta was the cheese that put a little jig in my step. But, now that I’ve met Cotija, I bought a new pair of insanely expensive running shoes!” ~ Yellow Bell Pepper
“Everything Feta can do on the dance floor, Cotija can do backwards and in high heels!” ~ Cherry Tomato
“I get along with pretty much everyone, but Cotija and I have something a little extra special. It’s an incredibly special and rewarding relationship!” ~ Monterey Jack
“Hanging out with Cotija is like getting a free cocktail at happy hour!” ~ Scallion
How often do ingredients stand up and applaud other ingredients?
Not very often.
So, when we say cotija is worth keeping around in the cheese drawer for a little jazzy meal love, we’re very serious about it.
Of course with any frittata, the dish itself is entirely customizable. If you want it a little more on the kicky side, add in some serranoes instead of the jalapeno. If you want it a little less spicy, add in regular smoked paprika instead of the hot smoked paprika. And, of course, there’s not a veggie that doesn’t adore being enveloped in cheesy herby eggs, so the entire world of produce is at your fingertips.
And as we’ve discussed, all veggies love cotija, so let your imagination go and get wild!
Now round up your ingredients, grab your F.N. Sharp utility or chef’s knife, get that cutting board and ready and let’s frittata!

The knife arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Not only is the knife well balance and very sharp, it is also beautiful. I'll be getting all my knives at F.N. Sharp in the future!
