Description

A frittata is an Italian omelet. Finishing off the eggs in the oven makes them super light and fluffy. This frittata is spiced up with Mexican spices for great flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • ½ whole Green Pepper, Diced
  • ½ cups Red Pepper, Diced
  • ⅓ whole Red Onion, Diced
  • 2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Aleppo Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoons Pepper
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach
  • 1 Tablespoon Grape Seed Oil
  • 8 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • ½ cups Skim Milk
  • 1 cup Mexican Shredded Cheese
  • 2 slices Green Bell Pepper (sliced Across In A Ring, For Garnish)
  • 2 slices Red Bell Pepper (sliced Across In A Ring, For Garnish)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 F.

Melt the butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes (add the diced peppers 2 minutes into the cooking of the onions). Add all the spices and mix in. Add the spinach and cook until it wilts, 2 – 3 minutes. Add the oil to the pan and let heat for a minute.

Beat eggs and milk in a bowl until fully combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet. Let the eggs begin to stiffen, about 3 minutes. Pull the firm eggs to the center of the pan and let the liquid eggs cook some more. Add 3/4 or so of the cup of cheese and mix through. Let it cook for a couple of minutes.

Move to a 325 F oven. After 5 minutes of cooking, top with the remaining cheese and the pepper rings. Finish cooking in the oven for another 8 – 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
