Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/2 cup chopped zucchini
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Cheese & Garnish
- 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the frittata to a golden finish.
- Mix Eggs and Seasonings: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, chopped bell pepper, and zucchini, cooking them for 4 to 5 minutes until they soften slightly.
- Add Spinach: Stir in the baby spinach and cook until it wilts down, making the vegetable mixture tender and flavorful.
- Combine and Pour Egg Mixture: Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly across the skillet, then pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the top.
- Add Tomatoes and Cheese: Sprinkle the halved cherry tomatoes and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the eggs and vegetables.
- Begin Cooking on Stovetop: Cook the mixture on the stovetop for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the edges to start setting and forming a crust.
- Bake the Frittata: Transfer the oven-safe skillet into the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Bake until the center is fully set and the top turns lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool slightly before slicing into portions. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Customize your frittata by adding vegetables like mushrooms, broccoli, or asparagus according to your preference.
- Use a nonstick or well-seasoned oven-safe skillet to prevent the frittata from sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated for quick and nutritious breakfasts throughout the week.
