Ingredients
- Eggs – 6 large, beaten (use free-range if possible)
- Vegetables:
- Bell peppers – 1/2 cup, diced (any color)
- Onion – 1/4 cup, diced
- Spinach – 1 cup, fresh
- Mushrooms – 1/2 cup, sliced
- Tomato – 1 small, diced
- Herbs: Fresh basil or parsley – 1-2 tbsp, chopped (or use thyme for a different flavor)
- Cheese – 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, feta, or your preferred cheese
- Olive Oil – 1 tbsp
- Salt & Pepper – to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for finishing the frittata.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers, cooking until soft (about 3 minutes). Add mushrooms and tomatoes, stirring until the vegetables are tender. Finally, add spinach and cook just until wilted.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Add in the shredded cheese and fresh herbs, stirring to combine.
- Combine & Cook: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, stirring gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.
- Serve: Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Slice the frittata and serve warm. Garnish with additional herbs, if desired.
Notes
- Customize Your Frittata: Add different vegetables, like zucchini or broccoli, or try goat cheese for a creamy twist.
- Storage: Leftover frittata can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or microwave individual slices for 1-2 minutes.
- Freezing: Freeze slices for up to 3 months. To reheat, bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 20-25 minutes.
