Skillet Frittata with Vegetables | Easy Egg Recipe

A versatile egg dish that works for any meal. Use whatever vegetables you have on hand and let your nonstick pan do the work. Frittatas are the ultimate clean-out-the-fridge recipe—endlessly adaptable and always satisfying. Unlike omelets, frittatas are cooked slowly over gentle heat, then finished under the broiler. This technique creates a tender, custardy texture that's impossible to achieve on the stovetop alone. A quality nonstick pan makes all the difference. Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 15 minutes Servings 4-6 servings Ingredients 8 large eggs ¼ cup whole milk or cream Salt and black pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 small onion, diced 1 bell pepper, diced 2 cups fresh spinach 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved ¾ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or feta) Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish Instructions Preheat broiler to high. Position oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in cherry tomatoes. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Gently stir to distribute evenly, then stop stirring. Sprinkle cheese over the top. Cook without stirring for 5-7 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Transfer skillet to the broiler. Broil for 2-4 minutes, watching carefully, until the top is golden and the center is just set. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm or at room temperature. Cook's Note Don't overcook the frittata—it will continue cooking from residual heat after you remove it from the oven. The center should still have a slight jiggle when you take it out of the broiler. Common Mistakes to Avoid Using too high heat on the stovetop: Gentle heat creates a tender texture. High heat will make the bottom rubbery. Overcooking under the broiler: Watch it carefully—broilers vary in intensity. It can go from perfect to overdone in seconds. Not using an oven-safe pan: Make sure your skillet handle is oven-safe. Wrap plastic or wooden handles in foil if needed. Substitution Guide 🥇 1. Vegetable Variations Why it works: Use what's in season or what you have on hand Endless combinations How to use it:Try mushrooms, zucchini, asparagus, broccoli, or roasted red peppers. Keep the total vegetable volume around 3 cups. 🥈 2. Protein Add-Ins Why it works: Makes it heartier Great for using leftovers How to use it:Add cooked bacon, sausage, ham, or smoked salmon.
