Instructions
Creating a Fresh Herb Frittata is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Sauté Vegetables: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until soft (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Whisk Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add Herbs and Cheese: Stir in the chopped herbs and shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to combine.
6. Cook on Stovetop: Allow the mixture to cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes until the edges start to set.
7. Transfer to Oven: Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the frittata is puffed and golden.
8. Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. If it’s still runny, return to the oven for a few more minutes.
9. Cool: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
10. Serve: Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm.
