1 cupcherry tomatoes

2 cupsfresh spinach

½ cupmozzarella cheese

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well beaten. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they become soft and translucent.

Step 3

Add the diced zucchini to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach or kale to the skillet and cook until it wilts down, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir the mixture once or twice to distribute the vegetables Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center of the frittata – if it comes out clean, the frittata is ready.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes.

Step 8

Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed as a main dish for breakfast, brunch, or a light lunch. Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.

Step 9

Note: Feel free to substitute a 1/2 cup of frozen spinach for fresh. Be sure to defrost and squeeze out all the excess water first.
