Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 piece russet potato (peeled and diced)
- 1 piece onion (diced)
- 1 piece bell pepper (diced, any color)
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 1.5 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper, then whisk until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a 10- or 12-inch oven-safe nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt.
Add the diced potato to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and softened.
Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until the leaves are wilted.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the vegetables in the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and cheese. Gently tilt the skillet to make sure the eggs are spread evenly.
Cook on the stove for 2-3 minutes until the edges of the egg begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden, and fully set in the center.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (use an oven mitt, as the handle will be hot). Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
