Serves 4

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Onion
1 medium, sliced
Bell pepper
1 medium, sliced (any color)
Eggs
6 large
Milk
1/4 cup
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon
Cheddar cheese
1 cup, shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing until they are softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. While the vegetables are cooking, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  5. Once the vegetables are ready, pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed onions and bell peppers in the skillet.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the egg mixture.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set, and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.

Tips

  • 💡 Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • 💡 For a spicier kick, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
  • 💡 Pair this frittata with a fresh salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
