Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Seasonings

  • 4–6 fresh eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or chives), chopped, about 2 tbsp

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, cherry tomatoes, zucchini), chopped

Cheese (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup cheese (feta, cheddar, or mozzarella), crumbled or shredded

Other

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Wash and chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt, pepper, and your chosen fresh herbs, then whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped veggies and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened, bringing out natural sweetness and flavors.
  3. Combine Eggs and Veggies: Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the sautéed vegetables. Use a spatula to gently spread the mixture, ensuring the eggs fill all spaces in the skillet.
  4. Add Cheese and Cook: Sprinkle your chosen cheese evenly on top. Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up, set in the center, and has a light golden top.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe skillet, preferably cast iron, for even heat and easy oven transfer.
  • Avoid overcrowding the vegetables to prevent releasing excess water, which can make the frittata soggy.
  • Let the frittata rest a few minutes after baking for it to set fully before slicing.
  • Whisk eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, resulting in a fluffy texture.
  • Customize cheese varieties but use strong flavors sparingly to maintain balance.
