Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the butter and olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (preferably 10-inch) over medium heat.
Add the corn kernels and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are tender and slightly golden.
Stir in the chopped scallions and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Lower the heat to medium-low and spread the corn mixture evenly across the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture over the corn, tilting the skillet if necessary to distribute it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Cook the frittata on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the center is set and the cheese is bubbly.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (using oven mitts) and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired, before slicing into wedges and serving.
