Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped Swiss chard and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook until the Swiss chard wilts, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs (if using) until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is set and slightly golden on top.
- Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Tips
- For added flavor, try incorporating other vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some chopped jalapeños to the vegetable mixture.
- Feel free to substitute feta cheese for Parmesan for a different flavor profile.
