Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 2 cups spinach
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini slices to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they start to soften.
Add the spinach to the skillet and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables, ensuring the eggs cover the vegetables evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the eggs and vegetables.
Cook on the stove over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the edges start setting but the center is still slightly runny.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle the fresh basil on top before cutting into wedges and serving.
