Foolproof Frittata
Ingredients
- 12 Eggs Whisked
- 3 tbsp Full Fat Dairy
- 3 Cups Flavor Combination (Choice is up to you)
- 1 Cup Grated Cheese
- tsp Salt
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees2. Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add your dairy of choice and the salt. Whisk just until the egg yolks and whites are blended. Whisk in all or half of the cheese (you can reserve the other half for topping the frittata before baking, if desired). Set the mixture aside.3. Warm the olive oil in a skillet or oven-safe non stick skillet until shimmering. Cook vegetables or whatever flavor combinations you choose.4. Whisk the eggs once more and pour the mixture over the vegetables. Stir with a spatula briefly to combine and distribute the mixture evenly across the pan. If you reserved any cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittata now.5. Once the outside edge of the frittata turns lighter in color (about 30 seconds to 1 minute), carefully transfer the frittata to the oven. Bake for 7 to 14 minutes (Keep an eye on it), until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittata jiggles just a bit when you give it a gentle shimmy. Remove the frittata from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool. Garnish with herbs, slice with sharp knife and serve.
