Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables:

Dice the bell peppers and chop the onion. You can mix different colors of peppers for a more visually appealing frittata.

Sauté the Vegetables:

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Add the diced bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers are tender.

Whisk the Eggs:

In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Combine Ingredients:

Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the vegetables are evenly distributed.

Add Cheese:

Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the egg and vegetable mixture. If using fresh herbs, add them now for an extra burst of flavor.

Cook the Frittata:

Cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes until the edges start to set.

Transfer to Oven:

Preheat your oven’s broiler. Once the edges are set, place the skillet under the broiler for 5-7 minutes, or until the top is golden and the frittata is cooked through. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Let It Stand:

Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata stand for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Serve:

Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Frittata di Peperoni!
