Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 zucchini (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 cup fresh spinach
- 6 eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cup mixed greens
- 0.25 cup balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe, non-stick skillet (about 8-inch) over medium heat. Add zucchini and cherry tomatoes, cooking for 3-4 minutes until zucchini is slightly softened.
- Add spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, ensuring vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Cook on the stovetop without stirring for 3-5 minutes, until the edges begin to set. Transfer the skillet to the preheated broiler and cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the top is golden and the frittata is set in the center.
- While the frittata finishes, toss mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette for a simple side salad.
- Carefully remove the skillet from the broiler. Slice the frittata into wedges and serve immediately with the side salad.
Notes
You can easily customize this frittata with other quick-cooking vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers. Ensure your skillet is oven-safe before using the broiler. The frittata is great served warm or at room temperature.
