Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups spinach, chopped
• 0.5 cups shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
• 0.5 cups cooked meat (e.g., bacon, sausage, or ham), diced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven broiler to high.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe, nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes, or until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the bell pepper starts to soften.

Step 6

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes, or until wilted.

Step 7

If using cooked meat, stir it into the skillet at this point.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables (and meat, if added). Use a spatula to gently spread the mixture so it evenly covers the ingredients.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the egg mixture.

Step 10

Cook on medium heat for 5–7 minutes without stirring, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the oven under the broiler. Cook for 2–3 minutes, keeping a close eye on it, until the top is puffed up and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the oven carefully (the handle will be very hot). Allow the frittata to cool for 1–2 minutes.

Step 13

Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Shortcut Skillet Frittata!
