Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Fillings

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, onions, spinach, mushrooms), diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Add fillings: Stir in the shredded cheese and mixed vegetables evenly into the egg mixture to distribute all ingredients well.
  3. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking.
  4. Pour mixture into baking dish: Grease a medium oven-safe skillet or baking dish, then pour the egg mixture evenly into it.
  5. Bake until set: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set in the center and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor, but frozen vegetables can work if thawed and drained.
  • Feel free to substitute cheese types based on preference or dietary restrictions.
  • The frittata can be served warm or at room temperature and is great for meal prep.
  • Adding fresh herbs like parsley or basil can enhance flavor.
  • If you prefer a fluffier texture, separate the eggs and beat the whites to stiff peaks before folding them back into the yolk mixture.
