Ingredients

• 2 medium red bell peppers
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 large eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.33 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Remove the stems, seeds, and membranes from the red bell peppers, then thinly slice them. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion as well.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become slightly caramelized.

Step 4

Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley until well combined.

Step 6

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the skillet, ensuring the sides and bottom are coated. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables and gently stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Place the skillet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and slightly golden on top.

Step 8

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Allow the frittata to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.

Step 9

Serve warm with additional parsley or grated Parmesan on top, if desired.
