Ingredients:
- 6 Cornish eggs
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (or cream for a richer frittata)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (120g) shredded cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or chives, chopped
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the vegetables:
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften.
- Add the spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it wilts.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional minute.
- Prepare the egg mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Stir in the shredded cheese and any fresh herbs you like.
- Combine and cook:
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
- Stir gently to ensure the eggs and vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Let the frittata cook on the stove for 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to set.
- Bake the frittata:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set in the center and slightly golden on top.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
Tips:
- You can add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or asparagus based on your preference.
- For added protein, include cooked bacon, ham, or sausage in the frittata.
