A colorful and nutritious breakfast frittata packed with fresh bell peppers, spinach, and herbs. Quick and easy to make, perfect for busy mornings or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or basil), chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A pinch of red chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Dice the red and green bell peppers, roughly chop the spinach, finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  5. Add the diced bell peppers and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened but still crisp.
  6. Add the minced garlic and spinach; cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and spinach slightly wilted.
  7. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously with salt, pepper, red chili flakes, and half of the chopped herbs.
  8. If using cheese, stir half of it into the egg mixture.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
  10. Cook undisturbed on medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes until edges start to set but center is slightly runny.
  11. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until eggs are fully set and slightly golden on top.
  12. Remove from oven carefully, sprinkle remaining cheese and herbs on top.
  13. Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Avoid overcooking spinach to keep freshness. Let frittata rest after baking for easier slicing. If edges brown too fast on stovetop, reduce heat. For dairy-free, omit cheese or use plant-based alternatives.
