The method
Step by step
- 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Whisk thoroughly to incorporate air for a fluffier frittata.
- 3
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe, non-stick skillet (about 20-25 cm or 8-10 inches) over medium heat.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Ensure your skillet is truly oven-safe, including the handle.
- 4
Add the yellow onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
About 4 min
- 5
Stir in the bell pepper and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes until it begins to soften.
About 5 min
- 6
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: The spinach will reduce significantly in volume.
- 7
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
About 1 min
- 8
Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges just begin to set.
About 3 min
- 9
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden brown on top.
About 20 min
Cook’s note: A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- 10
Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest in the skillet for 5 minutes before sliding it onto a cutting board.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Resting helps the frittata firm up and makes it easier to slice.
- 11
Slice the frittata into wedges and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
