Ingredients

• 3 tbsp butter
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2/3 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 8 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

1. Preparation:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a 9″x13″ baking dish with butter.

2. Cooking the Vegetables:

   • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
   • Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until tender but not browned.

3. Adding Mushrooms and Peppers:

   • Add sliced mushrooms and diced red bell pepper to the skillet.
   • Cook until all the liquid released from the mushrooms and peppers has evaporated, ensuring the mixture becomes dry.

4. Adding Parsley:

   • Stir in chopped fresh parsley into the vegetable mixture. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

5. Preparing the Egg Mixture:

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs with milk until well combined.

6. Combining Ingredients:

   • Add the cooked vegetable mixture (cooled slightly) into the egg mixture.
   • Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Mix well.

7. Baking:

   • Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish (9″x13″).
   • Smooth the top with a spatula for an even layer.
   • Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

8. Baking Process:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown.

9. Resting and Serving:

   • Remove from the oven and let it stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
   • This resting period allows the frittata to set further and makes it easier to slice into servings.

10. Optional:

    • This recipe can be halved and baked in an 8″ square or round baking dish for smaller portions.

Serving Suggestions

This Mushroom and Red Pepper Frittata pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad or some crusty bread on the side. It’s ideal for brunch gatherings, potlucks, or even as a hearty weekday breakfast.

Notes

• Ensure the vegetables are cooked until the liquid evaporates to prevent the frittata from becoming watery.
• You can customize this frittata by adding other vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, or even some cooked bacon or sausage for added flavor.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
