Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 2 cups spinach
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini slices to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they start to soften.

Step 5

Add the spinach to the skillet and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables, ensuring the eggs cover the vegetables evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the eggs and vegetables.

Step 8

Cook on the stove over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the edges start setting but the center is still slightly runny.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle the fresh basil on top before cutting into wedges and serving.
