Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 cup green chilies (roasted, peeled, and diced)
- 0.5 cup onion (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized 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 over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced green chilies. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spread the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly in the skillet, then pour the egg mixture over the top. Gently stir to distribute the eggs and vegetables evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the egg mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is set and slightly golden on top.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
