Frittata
A frittata is a versatile Italian egg dish similar to an omelet but thicker and often filled with vegetables, cheese, and meats. It is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner.
Equipment
- 1 oven-safe skillet (10-12 inches)
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 spatula
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup diced bell peppers any color

- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 cup shredded cheese such as cheddar or mozzarella

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables. Stir gently to combine.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the egg mixture.
- Cook on the stove for about 5 minutes, allowing the edges of the frittata to set.
