Ingredients
- 8 whole eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 whole yellow onion, diced
- 1 whole bell pepper, diced
- 2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
- Heat butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes softened and translucent.
- Add the bell pepper and mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1 minute until just wilted.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, making sure the vegetables are distributed throughout.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
- Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium heat for 2 minutes until the edges begin to set slightly, without stirring.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle fresh chopped chives or parsley over the top of the frittata.
- Slice the frittata into 6 wedges and serve warm directly from the skillet or transfer to a serving plate.
