• Prep Time: 30 minutes
• Cook Time: 1 hour
• Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
• Serves: 8

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large Spanish onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 3 green peppers, diced
• 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup bread cubes

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan. If you don’t have a springform pan, a 13×9-inch baking dish will work just fine.

2. Saute Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, diced green peppers, and sliced mushrooms. Saute the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3. Prepare Egg Mixture: While the vegetables are cooking, whisk together eggs and heavy cream in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the bread cubes, softened cream cheese, and shredded Swiss cheese.

4. Combine Ingredients: Once the vegetables are cooked, add them to the egg mixture and stir until well combined. Make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

5. Bake Frittata: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, ensuring it’s packed in tightly. Place the pan on a baking sheet to catch any drippings. Bake the frittata in the preheated oven until it’s firm to the touch, puffed, and golden brown, about 1 hour. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil while baking.

6. Serve: Once baked, remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool slightly. You can serve it hot, at room temperature, or even cold. Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven until warmed through, about 15 minutes.
