Instructions

Beat and Prep

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper. This egg mixture is the base of your frittata, so make sure it’s well beaten for maximum fluffiness.

Sauté the Veggies

Heat a bit of olive oil in your cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant. Toss in the bell pepper, spinach, and cherry tomatoes, sautéing just until the spinach wilts. Spread the veggies evenly across the skillet, creating a colorful canvas for your eggs.

Pour and Cook

Pour the egg mixture over the veggies in the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Resist the urge to stir; patience is key here.

Broil to Perfection

Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil on high for 3-4 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. Keep a close eye on it to avoid overcooking.

Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh herbs. Slice and serve directly from the skillet for that rustic charm and fewer dishes to wash.
