🛒 Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup milk or heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- ½ small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, optional
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch oven-safe skillet or round baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and red pepper and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the garlic and spinach. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in about ¾ cup mozzarella and the cheddar cheese.
- Spread the cooked vegetables evenly in the prepared dish. Pour the egg mixture over them.
- Arrange the cherry tomatoes on top and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is beautifully golden brown.
- Let the frittata rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
💡 Tips
- For extra protein, add diced cooked chicken or turkey.
- Feta cheese makes a delicious Mediterranean-style variation.
- Don’t overbake—the center should be just set and still tender.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
