Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Whisk Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.

Sauté Vegetables:

Add Eggs:
- Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to distribute the veggies evenly, then let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
-
Top with Cheese:

Bake:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden on top.

Serve:

Notes
- For a vegan version, omit the cheese and use plant-based milk instead of regular milk.
- Add spinach, zucchini, or tomatoes for extra veggies.
- Use different cheeses like goat cheese or mozzarella for varied flavors.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
