🧅 Frozen onions
🧀 Cheese (optional but wonderful!)

Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
• 1 cup frozen zucchini, thawed and patted dry
• 1/2 cup frozen bell peppers, thawed and patted dry
• 1/2 cup frozen onions, thawed and patted dry
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or chives, for garnish (optional)

Substitutions & Ingredient Notes:

• Use dairy-free cheese or omit it for a dairy-free version.
• Add a handful of frozen spinach or cooked potatoes for variation.
• Goat cheese or feta adds a tangy, delicious twist!

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
• Thaw and pat dry your frozen veggies to prevent extra moisture.

2. Sauté the Veggies

• Heat the olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
• Add the zucchini, peppers, and onions, and sauté for 4–5 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
• Spread the vegetables out evenly in the skillet.

3. Pour and Cook

• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
• Let the frittata cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, until the edges just begin to set.

4. Bake It to Perfection

• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
• Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.
• A slight wobble in the center is fine — it will finish setting as it rests.

5. Finishing Touches

• Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing.
• Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Serving & Pairing Ideas

• Serve with a simple green salad or roasted potatoes.
• Add a slice of buttered sourdough or a fruit salad for a brunch-worthy plate.
• Delicious hot, warm, or at room temperature — perfect for picnics!

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

• Storage: Store slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Reheating: Warm gently in a skillet or microwave.
• Freezing: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months — reheat directly from frozen.
