Ingredient Notes

1 cup of diced bell peppers adds a sweet, crunchy texture. You can substitute with zucchini or spinach if preferred. 2 tablespoons of feta cheese provide a tangy creaminess, but goat cheese works well too. 1 pound of eggs means about 6-8 large eggs, depending on size. Use fresh eggs for the best flavor. Finally, 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes brings juiciness and color; grape tomatoes are a great alternative.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then sauté the diced bell peppers for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
  3. Step 3: Add cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes before pouring in the egg mixture.
  4. Step 4: Cook for 5-7 minutes until the edges begin to set, then sprinkle feta on top.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F for another 5 minutes to finish cooking.

Things I’ve Learned

Use a non-stick skillet for easy release and cleanup. If the frittata puffs up too much, lower the heat to avoid burning the bottom. For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It can be reheated gently in the microwave or enjoyed cold as a quick snack. This frittata is also great for meal prep; make it ahead and slice into portions for the week.
