The Frittata: Your Weeknight Dinnertime Hero (Made 3 Times a Week for a Reason!)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
   Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat while you prepare the ingredients.
2. Prepare the Fillings:

• Heat the olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat.
• Sauté your vegetables (and any meats) until tender and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and herbs to season.

3. Whisk the Eggs:
   In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk (if using) until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Combine the Eggs and Vegetables:
   Once the veggies are cooked, pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently to distribute the eggs evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes until the edges start to set.
5. Add Cheese:
   Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the frittata.
6. Finish in the Oven:
   Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the top is slightly golden.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
   Let the frittata cool for a couple of minutes before slicing it into wedges. Serve with a side salad or a piece of crusty bread for a complete meal.
