Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 0.25 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup bell peppers (red and green), diced
- 0.5 cups zucchini, diced
- 0.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cups cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled (optional)
- 1 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet (10-12 inches) over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, and allow the butter to melt.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the diced bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
If using cooked bacon or sausage, stir it into the vegetable mixture at this time.
Evenly distribute the vegetable and meat mixture across the skillet, then pour the whisked egg mixture over the top. Use a spatula to gently stir and ensure the eggs coat the vegetables evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the frittata.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives, if desired, and serve warm.
