Ingredients

• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 3 tablespoons Whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium-sized (thinly sliced) Yellow onion
• 1 medium-sized (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
• 1 medium-sized (thinly sliced) Green bell pepper
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch (25 cm) oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the red and green bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 7

Spread the onion and pepper mixture evenly across the bottom of the skillet.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, tilting the skillet slightly to ensure the eggs distribute evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top of the egg mixture.

Step 10

Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, just until the edges begin to set, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Bake the frittata in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 14

Slice into wedges and serve warm.
