Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1.5 cups (shredded) smoked cheese (e.g., smoked gouda or cheddar)
- 0.25 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small (finely chopped) yellow onion
- 1 medium (diced) bell pepper
- 2 cups (loosely packed) baby spinach
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your 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 skillet (10-12 inches) over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Distribute the vegetables evenly in the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables, tilting the skillet slightly to ensure the eggs spread evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded smoked cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
Cook on the stovetop over low heat for 2-3 minutes, allowing the edges to set slightly.
Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is set.
Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
