Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cooking
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature while you prepare the stovetop ingredients.
- Sauté potatoes: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are nearly tender but not fully soft.
- Add vegetables: Incorporate the diced onion, red bell pepper, and chopped broccoli into the skillet. Continue cooking the mixture for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and flavors to meld.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheese, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Combine eggs with vegetables: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed on the stovetop for 2 to 3 minutes so the edges begin to set.
- Bake the frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and the top is lightly golden.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the frittata from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful meal any time of day.
Notes
- Sweet potatoes can be substituted for regular potatoes to add a slight sweetness and extra nutrients.
- Add spinach or mushrooms to increase the vegetable content and add more flavors and textures.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
