Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small zucchini, diced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted.
Spread the vegetables evenly across the skillet and pour the egg mixture over them.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
Cook on the stovetop for 3 minutes over low heat without stirring, allowing the edges to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and fully set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, cheesy frittata!
