Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 4-ounce can Green chilies (diced, canned or fresh)
- 1 cup Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Scallions (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and whole milk until well combined.
Step 3
Stir in the sweet corn, green chilies (drained if using canned), shredded cheese, chopped scallions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
Step 4
Heat a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil (or coat the pan with non-stick cooking spray). Swirl to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet evenly.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and allow it to cook undisturbed for about 3–4 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Step 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed in the center and cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the frittata is ready.
Step 7
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (the handle will be hot) and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Slice the frittata into 4 equal wedges and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with additional scallions or a dollop of salsa for extra flavor.
