Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bacon or 2 Tbsp olive oil for vegetarian
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 4 cups vegetables bell peppers, broccoli, zucchini, etc.
  • 10 eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven:

    Set oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Whisk egg mixture:

    In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, sea salt, pepper, and paprika using a whisk until uniform. Mix in cheese; reserve.
  • Fry bacon and aromatics:

    In a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, fry bacon, onion, and garlic until bacon starts to brown, roughly 5 minutes.
  • Cook vegetables:

    Add vegetables, cover, and cook until tender and bacon is fully browned, stirring from time to time, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in eggs:

    Lower heat to medium, pour in egg mixture, and stir rapidly into the bacon and vegetables until well dispersed.
  • Cook on stovetop:

    Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until the edges are firm.
  • Bake frittata:

    Move skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes until the top is golden brown and set. (The frittata will rise in the oven; it falls as it cools.)
  • Cool and serve:

    Take out of the oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
