Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 2 cups spinach leaves, fresh
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the minced garlic and fresh spinach leaves. Cook for 2 more minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Season the cooked vegetables with salt and black pepper, then spread them evenly across the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and the top is golden.
Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
