Print Recipe

A hearty and fluffy frittata made with a dozen eggs, perfect for brunch gatherings or satisfying leftovers. This recipe features simple ingredients and a golden crust with a soft center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (30 g)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 2 cups baby spinach (packed)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 100 g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as chopped parsley or chives)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a mixing bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Season the egg mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then set aside.
  4. Heat the butter in your oven-safe skillet over medium heat until melted and foamy.
  5. Sauté the onions for 4-5 minutes until translucent and soft, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the minced garlic and diced bell peppers to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the peppers soften but still hold some bite.
  7. Stir in the baby spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed veggies in the skillet. Tilt the pan gently to spread the eggs.
  9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed up, golden on top, and just set in the center.
  11. Check doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick in the center — it should come out clean.
  12. Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  13. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives, if using, and serve warm.

Notes

If edges brown too quickly, tent skillet with foil halfway through baking. Let frittata rest 5 minutes after baking for cleaner slices. Use almond or oat milk and dairy-free butter/cheese for dairy-free version. Can substitute veggies and cheeses to customize.
