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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 350ยฐF oven until warmed through, about 15 minutes.
