Ingredients
- Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Milk (1/4 cup)
- Eggs (6, large)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Onion (1, medium, diced)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently to evenly distribute the vegetables throughout the eggs.

- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
