Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cups milk
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups diced onion
- 0.5 cups diced bell peppers
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese, reserving a small handful of cheddar for topping.
Heat a medium-sized oven-safe skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they soften and become fragrant.
Spread the vegetables evenly across the skillet and pour the egg mixture on top.
Gently stir the mixture once to evenly distribute the eggs and vegetables, then stop stirring to allow the frittata to set slightly.
Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is set.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for 5 minutes before slicing it into wedges.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
