👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven's broiler (or preheat oven to 400°F/200°C if no broiler).

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until frothy. Stir in half of the cheese. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until it begins to soften.

  4. 4

    Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Spread the vegetables evenly in the skillet.

  5. 5

    Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes, until the edges begin to set.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top of the frittata.

  7. 7

    Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or bake for 8-10 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is fully set.

  8. 8

    Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (handle will be hot!). Let the frittata cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
