Simple Veggie Frittata
Prep this simple veggie frittata at the beginning of the week and enjoy a slice each morning to start your day on the right foot!
Equipment
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Cast iron skillet or another oven-safe skillet
- Spatula
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 3-4 C Veggies* chopped
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- 1/3 tsp Black pepper
- 8 Eggs
- 1/2 C Cow's milk optional, for a fluffier frittata
- Cheese, avocado, fresh herbs optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Chop your vegetables into bit-size pieces.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add your veggies to cook, starting with those that cook the longest (root vegetables) and progressing to those that cook for the shortest amount of time (greens, tomatoes). Once all of the vegetables are cooked, turn the heat down to low. Season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Add eggs to a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until nice and frothy. Mix in the milk and stir until combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Turn the heat under the skillet to medium and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the egg begins to set around the edges; this will look slightly cooked. No stirring!
- Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake 12 – 15 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked; you will know it’s fully cooked when you shake the dish and the center is hard (no liquid moves).
- Once cooked, turn pan upside down onto a cutting board to release the frittata. Cut into wedges like a pie.
