Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)

1 small onion, diced

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 teaspoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)

Instructions
 

Preheat your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it's hot enough when you put the frittata in to cook evenly.

    Sauté Veggies: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until they become translucent. Next, add the bell peppers and mushrooms, and continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Finally, stir in the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted.

      Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until well combined.

        Combine Veggies and Eggs: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, making sure the veggies are evenly distributed.

          Cook on the Stove: Cook on the stove for about 2-3 minutes, gently stirring the mixture, allowing the eggs to set slightly around the edges.

            Transfer to Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs before slicing into wedges and serving.
