Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small zucchini
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 cups spinach
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Dice the onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini into small, evenly-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.

Step 5

Add the onion and red bell pepper to the hot skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Stir in the zucchini and garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the zucchini is tender but not mushy.

Step 7

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until just wilted. Spread the cooked vegetables evenly across the bottom of the skillet.

Step 8

Turn the heat to low and pour the beaten egg mixture over the vegetables. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and the dried oregano evenly over the top.

Step 9

Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, without stirring, until the edges begin to set.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and the center is set.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Italian-style frittata as-is, or paired with a simple green salad.
