Vegetable Frittata
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler in your oven.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add 1 small diced onion, 1 diced bell pepper, and 1 cup sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Add 2 cups of baby spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, lifting the edges of the frittata with a spatula to let the uncooked egg flow underneath.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the top of the frittata.
- Place the skillet under the broiler and broil for 3-4 minutes until the frittata is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
The frittata has a rich history dating back to ancient Rome, where it was a popular dish among the working class. This versatile Italian egg dish is similar to an omelette or crustless quiche, and it can be filled with a variety of ingredients such as vegetables, meats, and cheeses. Renowned chefs like Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali have popularized the frittata in modern times, incorporating their own unique twists on the classic recipe. In Italy, the frittata is a staple in many regions, with each area adding its own local ingredients and flavors. Today, the best frittatas can be found in traditional Italian trattorias, where they are often made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. To make a perfect frittata, it's essential to use high-quality eggs and to cook it slowly over low heat to achieve a creamy, custard-like texture. For a unique twist, some chefs also bake their frittatas in the oven to achieve a fluffy, soufflé-like consistency. Whether enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, the frittata continues to be a beloved dish with endless possibilities for customization.
