A quick and easy one-pan frittata perfect for Mother’s Day or any special breakfast, featuring fresh veggies, sharp cheddar, and a fluffy texture with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole or 2% milk (can substitute almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and chop the spinach, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red bell pepper, finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
  3. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  4. Add garlic and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and milk until fully combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Sprinkle half the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sautéed veggies in the skillet.
  8. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies and cheese, tilting the pan to distribute evenly. The edges should start to set immediately.
  9. Scatter cherry tomatoes evenly on top and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over everything.
  10. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until eggs are set and the top is lightly browned. Check doneness by gently shaking the pan; there should be no liquid movement.
  11. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to firm up.
  12. Garnish with fresh herbs if using, slice into wedges, and serve warm.

Notes

If edges brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. For a golden crust, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch carefully to avoid burning. For stovetop cooking, cover and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, skipping the oven step. Use frozen spinach thawed and drained if fresh is unavailable. Customize with mushrooms, zucchini, or add cooked bacon or sausage for a meaty version. Dairy-free options include almond milk and plant-based cheese or nutritional yeast.
