Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 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.
Heat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are soft.
Stir the chopped parsley and chives into the cooked peppers, reserving a small amount of each herb for garnish.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the peppers and herbs in the skillet. Do not stir.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the egg and pepper mixture.
Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the center of the frittata is set and does not jiggle when shaken gently.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes.
Carefully slide the frittata out of the skillet onto a cutting board or serving plate.
Garnish with the reserved herbs, slice into wedges, and serve warm or at room temperature.
