Description
A Frittata is a versatile and easy dish made with eggs and your choice of vegetables, meats, and cheese. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (or heavy cream for a richer texture)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or mozzarella)
- 1 cup vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms)
- ½ cup cooked bacon, sausage, or ham (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sauté the vegetables: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the vegetables and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes. If using cooked bacon, sausage, or ham, stir it in once the vegetables are cooked.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in half of the shredded cheese.
- Combine and cook: Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook on the stovetop for 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
- Bake the frittata: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is set.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- You can customize this recipe by adding your favorite vegetables, meats, or cheeses.
- For a dairy-free option, use almond milk and skip the cheese.
- Frittatas store well! Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days and reheat in the microwave or oven.
