Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups yellow onion, diced
- 0.5 cups red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until they are wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and evenly spread out the vegetable mixture over the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, tilting the skillet slightly to ensure the eggs spread evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes, without stirring, until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up, golden on top, and fully set in the center.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Slice into wedges and enjoy!
