Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe, nonstick skillet (10-12 inches in diameter) over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the diced bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes until they soften.

Step 6

Add the chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and spread the cooked vegetables evenly across the skillet.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, allowing it to settle evenly. Do not stir.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and parmesan cheeses evenly over the top.

Step 10

Cook on the stovetop for 4-5 minutes until the edges begin to set, but the center is still slightly runny.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 13

Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
