Instructions

SautƩ Your Veggies

  • Preheat oven to 375Ā°F (190Ā°C).
  • Chop veggies into bite-sized pieces.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil/butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  • SautĆ© veggies until soft (about 5 minutes).
  • šŸ”„ Pro Tip: If using leafy greens (spinach, kale), toss them in lastā€”they cook in seconds!

Whisk Up the Eggs

  • In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  • Want extra fluff? Whisk vigorously to incorporate air.
  • šŸ„„ Pro Tip: Donā€™t overmix! Over-beaten eggs = dense frittata.

Combine & Cook

  • Pour egg mixture over the sautĆ©ed veggies. Let sit 1 minute to set slightly.
  • Sprinkle cheese evenly on top.

šŸ”„ Two Cooking Options:

  • Oven Method: Bake at 375Ā°F (190Ā°C) for 15-18 minutes until the center is set.
  • Stovetop + Broil Method: Cook on low for 5 minutes, then broil on high for 3-5 minutes for a golden top.
  • šŸ„„ Pro Tip: Donā€™t overbake! The eggs will keep cooking after you take them out.

Slice & Serve

  • Let the frittata cool 2 minutes, then slide onto a plate or serve straight from the pan.
