Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms), chopped

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)

Other

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté until they are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Combine Eggs and Cheese: In a bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the shredded cheese until evenly mixed.
  3. Mix Vegetables with Eggs: Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet, stirring gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Bake the Frittata: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the skillet or pour the mixture into a greased oven-safe dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and firm to the touch.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges and serving warm.

Notes

  • You can use any combination of your favorite vegetables, adjusting the quantity and type to suit your taste.
  • For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture before baking.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for stovetop cooking and baking for the best heat retention and browning.
  • Leftover frittata can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
  • For a vegetarian option, ensure the cheese used contains no animal rennet.
