Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, thyme)
- 1–2 cups chopped vegetables (spinach, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli)
- ½–1 cup shredded or crumbled cheese (feta, cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese)
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
- Optional add-ins: Cooked sausage or bacon, smoked salmon, leftover roasted vegetables
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Whisk the base: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, pepper, and herbs until well combined.
- Sauté the vegetables: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add chopped vegetables and sauté until tender (about 5–7 minutes).
- Combine: Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Gently shake the pan to evenly distribute the eggs.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle cheese evenly on top.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool and serve: Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Feel free to mix and match cheeses and vegetables. For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy milk and skip the cheese. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
