Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup whole milk or half and half
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar and parmesan mix)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach or kale
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (like chives, parsley, or basil), chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper with a pinch of salt. Cook for 5-6 minutes until softening.
  3. Add mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic and spinach until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Scatter cherry tomatoes over the veggies.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, half the cheese, remaining salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until frothy.
  5. Pour egg mixture evenly over vegetables in skillet. Gently shake pan to distribute. Sprinkle remaining cheese and fresh herbs on top.
  6. Transfer skillet to preheated oven. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until center is just set and top is golden.
  7. Let frittata rest in pan for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

Do not skip sautéing the vegetables first, as it prevents a soggy frittata. Letting it rest before slicing ensures cleaner wedges. Recipe is highly adaptable; use any seasonal vegetables or cooked meats you have on hand.
