Ingredients

For the Frittata

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh thyme, chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced winter vegetables (such as sweet potatoes, butternut squash, or kale)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper (any color, diced)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar, feta, or goat cheese, optional)

For Garnish (Optional)

  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)
  • Sliced avocado
  • Hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready to bake the frittata evenly.
  2. Whisk Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme until the mixture is smooth and uniformly combined.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they soften. Then add the diced winter vegetables and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender.
  4. Combine and Cook: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to distribute the veggies. If using cheese, sprinkle it evenly on top. Cook the mixture on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, until the edges just start to set.
  5. Bake the Frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, set in the center, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs, sliced avocado, or hot sauce as desired. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe skillet to avoid transferring the frittata to another dish.
  • Substitute any winter vegetables you prefer or have available, such as Brussels sprouts or carrots.
  • Omit cheese to keep the dish dairy-free or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • To speed up prep, dice vegetables in advance and store in the fridge.
  • This frittata can be served warm or at room temperature for convenience.
