Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 4 pieces egg whites
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup low-fat milk
- 1 piece red bell pepper, diced
- 1 piece green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 piece yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (preferably nonstick or cast-iron) over medium heat.
Add the diced red and green bell peppers, along with the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Reduce the heat to low and let the frittata cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes or until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and the top is golden and bubbly.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesy Frittata South Beach!
