Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready for the frittata.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and add 1/4 cup of milk. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add salt and pepper to taste into the egg mixture, stirring well to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil or butter. Once hot, add 1 cup of diced red bell pepper and 1 cup of diced green bell pepper.
- Sauté the peppers for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the peppers are cooked, pour the egg mixture over the sautéed peppers in the skillet. Gently stir to combine the ingredients.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the top of the frittata mixture.
- Cook on the stovetop for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the edges to set while the center remains slightly runny.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and the top is lightly golden.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your delicious Red and Green Frittata!
Tips
- To ensure your Red and Green Frittata turns out perfectly, follow these simple tips:* Make sure to not overmix the egg mixture, as this can lead to a dense frittata. * Don't overcrowd the skillet with the peppers - cook them in batches if necessary, to ensure they're tender and caramelized. * Keep an eye on the frittata while it's baking in the oven, as the top can quickly go from golden to burnt. * Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing, as this will help it set and make it easier to serve. * Experiment with different types of cheese and herbs to give your frittata a unique twist!
