Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

  • For the Base:
    • 6 large eggs
    • 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
    • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Filling:
    • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
    • 1/2 cup onion (diced)
    • 1 cup bell peppers (diced, mixed colors)
    • 1/2 cup zucchini or spinach (optional)
    • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
    • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
    • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, sausage, or ham (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Filling:
    • Heat the olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
    • Sauté the onions and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes until softened.
    • Add other vegetables (like zucchini or spinach) and cook for 2-3 more minutes. If using meat, add it now to warm through.
  4. Assemble the Frittata:
    • Spread the cooked veggies and meat evenly across the skillet.
    • Pour the egg mixture over the filling, tilting the pan to ensure it covers everything.
    • Sprinkle the cheese on top.
  5. Cook and Bake:
    • Cook on the stovetop over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, just until the edges start to set.
    • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and set in the center.
  6. Serve:
    • Let cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve warm, at room temperature, or even chilled.

Tips for Success:

  • Use any combination of veggies, cheese, or meats you like—frittatas are highly customizable!
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or chives for extra flavor.
  • If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish before baking.

This quick and easy frittata is perfect for meal prep or a last-minute meal that feels fancy! 🥘✨
