Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
Liquid and Fat Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Seasoning and Optional Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or Parmesan)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
Instructions
- Prepare a harmonious blend of ingredients by whisking eggs with seasoning in a mixing vessel, creating a smooth, uniform base for the frittata.
- Activate a robust skillet over medium heat, introducing a thin layer of olive oil to establish a non-stick foundation for vegetable preparation.
- Carefully sauté diced onions, vibrant bell peppers, and earthy mushrooms, allowing them to soften and release their natural flavors for approximately 4 minutes, stirring intermittently.
- Distribute the whisked egg mixture evenly across the sautéed vegetables, ensuring a balanced distribution of ingredients throughout the skillet.
- Allow the frittata to gently cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, observing the edges beginning to solidify and set around the vegetable landscape.
- Generously crown the developing frittata with a sprinkle of shredded cheese, creating a potential golden crust.
- Transition the skillet into a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven, allowing the frittata to complete its culinary transformation for 10-12 minutes until fully set and displaying a golden-brown exterior.
- Extract the frittata from the oven, permitting a brief cooling period before slicing into elegant wedges and presenting the vibrant, herb-infused dish.
Notes
- Swap milk with plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version that keeps the creamy texture.
- Select colorful bell peppers to maximize visual appeal and nutritional variety in the frittata.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for even heat distribution and a perfectly crispy bottom without sticking.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like fresh basil or thyme to elevate the frittata’s flavor profile.
