Recipe type: Breakfast, Brunch
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 2 red bell peppers, diced
- 1 bunch of spinach, chopped
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp non fat milk
- 6 oz cheese, grated (use a semi- to medium-hard cheese like Swiss, Gouda, or Cheddar. I used Gouda)
- Cooking Spray
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Grate the cheese.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs & milk.
- Chop the red peppers, green onions, and spinach.
- Spray a large skillet (that can also go in the oven) with cooking spray and sauté the chopped red peppers for 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour the egg mixture to the skillet and top with the green onions and the cheese. Over medium heat, let the frittata cook for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, you can use your spatula to scrape the edges of the skillet and slowly lift the sides of the frittata as it’s forming.
- Transfer the frittata to the oven and let it cook for 10 more minutes. It will be golden brown coloring.
- Remove from the oven and the skillet. On a cutting board, slice into 12 slices like a pizza. ***You can make the entire frittata the day before and simply warm it up in the oven the next day for your meal.

My angel of a wife and I look forward to this delicious frittata. My wife has a pretty cool daughter too! (much cooler now than during her teenage years).
Hahaha! Don’t you know it! Yes…we do tend to age with grace & coolness.
This recipe is delicious! I made it a different way, because I do not have a skillet that can go from the cooktop to the oven. After the peppers and spinach were sauteed and set aside, I wisked the eggs with the rest of the ingredients (also added 6 slices of cooked, crumbled, bacon). Then I stirred in the pepper/spinach mixture, and poured it all into a greased, 9″ X 13″ baking dish and baked it at 325 degrees F for 50 minutes. Everyone at my Bridge Lunch Group loved this frattatta. It was served with a pear walnut spinach salad and whole wheat rolls. Yum. Thank you!
Great tips! Yes: adding different toppings to the frittata makes it more versatile. Who doesn’t love bacon? And thanks for the tip with the cooking pan 🙂
