Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk or almond milk
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1 small red onion, sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella or feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. On a baking sheet, toss cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and minced garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs until combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Stir in half of the shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
  5. Gently fold the roasted vegetables and baby spinach into the egg mixture.
  6. Heat a little olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg and vegetable mixture and cook for 4-5 minutes until edges start to set but center is still slightly runny.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the frittata is puffed and set in the middle.
  9. Let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Roasting vegetables intensifies their sweetness and reduces moisture to prevent sogginess. Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Avoid overcooking on stovetop to prevent rubbery eggs. Let frittata rest before slicing to hold shape. Customize cheese and herbs to taste. For dairy-free, substitute milk and cheese accordingly.
