Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Other Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth to create an evenly mixed base for the frittata.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and onion, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add spinach and tomatoes: Stir in the chopped spinach and halved cherry tomatoes, cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the spinach wilts slightly.
- Add egg mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, then cook on the stove for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges begin to set, ensuring the base starts to firm up.
- Add cheese and bake: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven at 375°F and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, slice into portions, and serve warm.
Notes
- You can add cooked bacon, sausage, or mushrooms for extra flavor and protein.
- Frittatas can be served hot or at room temperature, making them ideal for meal prep or leftovers.
- Use an oven-safe nonstick skillet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
