Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.25 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (such as a cast-iron skillet) over medium heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Stir in the red bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 7

Toss in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.

Step 8

Spread the vegetables evenly across the skillet and pour the egg mixture over the top, making sure it covers all the vegetables.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture.

Step 10

Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes, without stirring, until the edges begin to set.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the center.

Step 12

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (use oven mitts as the handle will be very hot).

Step 13

Allow the frittata to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
