Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 1 small red onion
• 1 cup grape tomatoes
• 0.5 cups kalamata olives
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon basil leaves, chopped
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an oven-safe skillet or baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the red and yellow bell peppers, chop the red onion, and slice the grape tomatoes in half.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the diced bell peppers and cook for an additional 5 minutes until tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced grape tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Fold in the sautéed vegetables, chopped kalamata olives, parsley, and basil into the egg mixture.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish or skillet and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the middle and lightly golden on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with extra parsley or basil as garnish, if desired.
