A quick and nourishing breakfast frittata packed with fresh vegetables and melty cheese, perfect for busy mornings and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella/pepper jack)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives, chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Beat the eggs and milk in a mixing bowl until smooth and frothy. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and red bell pepper; sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
  4. Add minced garlic and zucchini to the skillet; cook for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Stir in chopped spinach and cook for about 2 minutes until wilted. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  6. Spread the cooked veggies evenly in the skillet. Pour the beaten egg mixture over the vegetables, tilting the pan to distribute evenly.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  8. Cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes to let the edges set.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to firm up.
  11. Sprinkle fresh chopped herbs on top before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for a fluffier texture. Avoid overcooking veggies on the stove as they continue cooking in the oven. Let the frittata rest before slicing for clean cuts. If no oven-safe skillet is available, transfer mixture to a baking dish after sautéing veggies. For dairy-free, omit cheese or use plant-based alternatives.
