Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 cup bell peppers (any color, diced)
- 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
Other Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the frittata.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Sauté Onions: Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add Bell Peppers and Mushrooms: Stir in the diced bell peppers and sliced mushrooms. Continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes until vegetables are tender and any moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated.
- Combine Ingredients: Evenly spread the cooked vegetables in the skillet, then pour the egg mixture over them. Let it cook undisturbed on the stovetop for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top if you are using cheese.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the frittata to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or basil if desired, then serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use any vegetables you have on hand such as zucchini, spinach, or tomatoes for variety.
- Make it dairy-free by omitting the cheese and using plant-based milk alternatives.
- This frittata stores well and can be enjoyed hot or cold, making it ideal for meal prep.
