Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced small
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta) – optional
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
2. Cook Potatoes & Veggies:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender. Add onions, red peppers, and garlic; cook another 3–4 minutes. Stir in chopped spinach until wilted.
3. Prepare Egg Mixture:
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
4. Combine & Cook:
Pour egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top if using. Let cook on the stove for 2–3 minutes to start setting the edges.
5. Bake Frittata:
Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, until eggs are fully set and the top is lightly golden.
6. Serve:
Let frittata cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
