Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Ingredients:
Wash and chop your fresh herbs. You want about a cup total, so feel free to mix and match according to your taste.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Cook the Aromatics:
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
If using, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Combine Ingredients:
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the mixed herbs and grated cheese into the egg mixture.
Pour the Egg Mixture:
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed onions in the skillet. Stir gently to combine, ensuring even distribution of the herbs and onions.
Cook on the Stove:
Return the skillet to medium-low heat and cook for about 5 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Bake in the Oven:
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the frittata is puffed and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Once done, remove from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
