Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Prepare Your Ingredients
  • Wash and chop your herbs and any additional vegetables you want to include. Set them aside.
  • Whisk the Eggs
  • In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are fully combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the Onions
  • In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add Vegetables and Herbs
  • If you're using vegetables, add them to the pan and cook for another 3-5 minutes until tender. Then, add the chopped herbs and stir for another minute.
  • Combine the Mixture
  • Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables and herbs. Gently stir with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
  • Add Cheese
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly on top of the egg mixture.
  • Cook on the Stovetop
  • Cook the frittata on the stovetop for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
  • Finish in the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the frying pan to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and set in the center.
  • Cool and Serve
  • Remove the frittata from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
