Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups spinach, fresh
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe, non-stick skillet (10-12 inches in diameter) over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Add the spinach to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, gently tilting the skillet to ensure the mixture evenly coats everything.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
Cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes on medium-low heat, just until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set in the center and slightly golden on top.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh basil and slice into wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature as is, or with a side of crusty bread or fresh salad.
