Ingredients
- a good drizzle vegetable or olive oil or cooking spray
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
- ½ medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 9 large eggs
- ¼ cup half and half, whole milk is fine as well
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning, or a small handful of fresh herbs roughly chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheese, cheddar, colby, or monterey jack
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
Equipment
- 1 9 x 9 or 2.5 to 3-quart baking dish or a 9 to 10 inch deep (around 2 - 2.25 inches) pie dish
- Cutting Board
- Chef's Knife
- Large Skillet
- Medium Bowl
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add in the broccoli, mushrooms, and red bell peppers and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes or so or until the broccoli is bright green and the mushrooms look slightly golden.
- In a medium bowl, crack and add in the eggs, half and half milk, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Whisk that all together. Fold in ½ cup of cheese into the bowl along with the scallions.
- Lightly spray or oil your baking dish or pan and set it to the side.
- Transfer the veggies into your dish. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies and sprinkle the rest of your cheese on top. Transfer the baking dish into oven on the center rack. Bake until the eggs have cooked and set and they are no longer jiggly throughout, 25 to 35 minutes (depending on what you're baking your frittata in). Your frittata will rise and then fall slightly when you take it out of the oven. Once done, allow to cool slightly and then slice and serve.
