Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cups red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cups green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cups yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pieces jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe, non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red and green bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the chopped spinach and optional jalapeño, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and evenly distribute the vegetable mixture across the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, tilting the skillet slightly to ensure it spreads evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the top of the egg mixture.
Bake the skillet in the preheated oven for 15-20 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.
Garnish with the chopped cilantro before slicing into wedges and serving.
