Ingredients
For the Frittata Base:

¼ cup milk (any kind, dairy or plant-based)
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp onion powder
Vegetables & Fillings:
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
½ cup red bell pepper, diced
-
½ cup green bell pepper, diced
-
½ cup red onion, diced
-
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
-
1 cup baby spinach
-
½ cup cooked chicken or beef sausage, chopped
-
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
For Garnish & Serving:

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Avocado slices (optional)

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in cherry tomatoes and chopped sausage. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the baby spinach last and cook for 1 minute, just until wilted.
Step 3: Add Eggs & Cheese
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables and sausage.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Let cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Step 4: Bake Until Set
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and fully set in the center.
To test doneness, insert a knife in the center—it should come out clean.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute or two.
Garnish with chopped parsley and optional avocado slices.
Serve with toast, a side salad, or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
Notes
Use Fresh Eggs – Fresh eggs make a fluffier and richer frittata.
Avoid Overcooking – Keep a close eye during the final minutes to avoid drying it out.
Switch It Up – Try different veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, or broccoli.
Add Dairy-Free Cheese – For a lactose-free option, dairy-free cheese works well.
Cool Before Slicing – Let it rest briefly for cleaner slices.
