Tips
- For a dairy-free option, replace the milk with unsweetened almond milk and omit the cheese.
- You can substitute the vegetables with any others you have on hand. Just make sure to sauté them until they're tender before adding the egg mixture.
- For a heartier frittata, consider adding some diced ham or cooked bacon.
