Savory Vegetable Frittata
- Elegant and flavorful, perfect for spring brunch.
- Loaded with a variety of fresh vegetables.
- Quick to prepare, making it ideal for busy nights.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup spinach, fresh, chopped
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (red and yellow)
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
How to Make
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent. Next, introduce the bell peppers and mushrooms, cooking until they are tender, roughly another 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and stir until wilted, then season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and mix in the crumbled feta cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, gently stir to combine, and allow it to cook on the stove for 2-3 minutes. Once the bottom is set, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden.
Tips
- Experiment with seasonal vegetables to keep the recipe fresh.
- For added flavor, include herbs like basil or parsley.
