How to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure your oven reaches the correct temperature before you begin baking the frittata.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then season with salt and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is combined and evenly seasoned.

3. Heat olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Coat the bottom of the skillet so the vegetables and egg mixture do not stick.

4. Sauté the chopped vegetables until tender. Cook the vegetables in the skillet until they soften and become fragrant.

5. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, and cook for a few minutes until the edges start to set. Let the eggs cook undisturbed so the outer edges begin to firm while the center remains soft.

6. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Distribute the cheese evenly across the surface for flavorful, golden bites.

7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden. Check that the center is set before removing the skillet from the oven.

8. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. A brief cooling period helps the frittata firm up and makes it easier to slice cleanly.

How to Serve It

• Serve warm in slices with a simple green salad for a light lunch or dinner.
• Pair it with toast, roasted potatoes, or fresh fruit for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.
• Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, extra cheese, or a little black pepper before serving.

How to Store It

Store leftover frittata in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat individual slices gently until warmed through to help preserve the soft, tender texture.

For longer storage, wrap portions securely and place them in the freezer. Thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator before reheating. Avoid overheating, as this can make the eggs firm or rubbery.

Helpful Tips

• Use an oven-safe skillet with enough room for the egg mixture and vegetables to cook evenly.
• Sauté vegetables until tender before adding the eggs so they have the best texture in the finished frittata.
• Keep an eye on the frittata near the end of baking and remove it when the eggs are fully set and the top is golden.

Optional Variations

• Swap the suggested vegetables for another combination you enjoy, such as bell peppers, spinach, or onions.
• Use cheddar for a rich, familiar flavor or feta for a tangy finish.
• Add extra seasoning or fresh herbs to complement the vegetables and cheese.
