Ingredients
- egg6 pcs
- zucchini1 pcs
- bell pepper1 pcs
- spinach100 g
- onion1 pcs
- parmesan60 g
- olive oil2 tbsp
- milk50 ml
- salt1 to taste
- black pepper1 to taste
Instructions
Cut the zucchini and bell pepper into small cubes, finely chop the onion, rinse and pat dry the spinach.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, ground black pepper and grated parmesan until smooth.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion for 2 minutes until soft, add the bell pepper and zucchini and cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the spinach and cook for another 1 minute, until the leaves wilt down.
Spread the vegetables evenly over the bottom of the skillet, pour in the egg mixture and cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes, until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to an oven preheated to 180°C and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly browned.
If you don't have an oven, cover the skillet with a lid and finish cooking on the stovetop over low heat for another 5-7 minutes until fully set.
Let the frittata rest for 2-3 minutes, cut into portions and serve warm or at room temperature.
