• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, and bake for 15 minutes or until the center of the frittata is set.

Remove from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes before sprinkling the fresh chives over the top.
