Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1 small thinly sliced red onion and 1 medium diced red bell pepper, sautéing for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups chopped baby spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted.
  4. Step 4: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes until edges begin to set.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese evenly on top and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the frittata is fully set and golden on top.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes, then slice into four equal pieces and serve warm.
