Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

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

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe, non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

Stir in the chopped spinach and optional jalapeño, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and evenly distribute the vegetable mixture across the skillet.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, tilting the skillet slightly to ensure it spreads evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the top of the egg mixture.

Step 9

Bake the skillet in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is set.

Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with the chopped cilantro before slicing into wedges and serving.
