Ingredients

• 8 eggs
• 0.25 cups whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 cup bell peppers (red and green), diced
• 0.5 cups zucchini, diced
• 0.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cups cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled (optional)
• 1 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet (10-12 inches) over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, and allow the butter to melt.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the diced bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

If using cooked bacon or sausage, stir it into the vegetable mixture at this time.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the vegetable and meat mixture across the skillet, then pour the whisked egg mixture over the top. Use a spatula to gently stir and ensure the eggs coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the frittata.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 10

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives, if desired, and serve warm.
