Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 0.5 cups canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
• 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced red and green bell peppers, red onion, and jalapeño (if using). Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Stir in the black beans and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 6

Evenly spread the vegetables and beans across the skillet before pouring the egg mixture over them. Use a spatula to gently distribute the eggs and ensure everything is submerged.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the egg mixture.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden on top.

Step 9

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped cilantro, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
