Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 4 cups arugula
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped

Egg Mixture

  • 10 eggs, whisked
  • 2/3 cup nonfat milk
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3/4 cup part skim shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Other

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Whisk the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the 10 eggs, 2/3 cup nonfat milk, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the frittata later.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes until they become translucent. Then add the arugula and minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped roasted red peppers, combining well.
  4. Add the egg mixture to the skillet: Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Cook on the stovetop until the edges of the eggs start to pull away from the pan, about 4-6 minutes. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Bake the frittata: Transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 14-16 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the frittata is cooked through.

Notes

  • Use a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet to move easily from stovetop to oven.
  • You can substitute nonfat milk with any milk of your choice or dairy-free alternative.
  • Add your favorite herbs like basil or parsley for an extra flavor boost.
  • Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing for better serving consistency.
