Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup spinach, chopped
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional), crumbled

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk together until fully combined.

Step 2

Prepare your rice cooker by adding olive oil or butter to the inner pot. Use a brush or paper towel to coat the bottom and sides evenly.

Step 3

Turn your rice cooker to the 'Cook' setting and let it preheat for about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the rice cooker and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the chopped spinach to the rice cooker and cook for another minute, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts.

Step 6

Turn off the rice cooker temporarily and evenly distribute the sauteed vegetables in the bottom of the pot.

Step 7

Optional: If adding cooked bacon or sausage, sprinkle it evenly over the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the whisked egg mixture into the rice cooker, making sure it covers the vegetables evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the egg mixture.

Step 10

Close the rice cooker lid and switch it back to the 'Cook' setting. Allow the frittata to cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the edges are lightly golden. (Note: If your rice cooker automatically switches to 'Warm' before the eggs are fully cooked, simply switch it back to 'Cook' manually and continue cooking.)

Step 11

Once cooked, carefully turn off and unplug the rice cooker. Open the lid and let the frittata sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

Step 12

Run a silicone spatula or butter knife around the edges to loosen the frittata. Gently lift or slide it out onto a cutting board or serving plate.

Step 13

Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your rice cooker frittata with a side salad or crusty bread!
