How To Make egg frittata

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Step 2
    Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Step 3
    Add the potatoes and cook until they begin to brown, stirring a couple of times. As they begin to brown, start adding the onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Stagger them in the pan in that order every 1-2 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Lower the heat and add the garlic, fresh thyme, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
  • Step 5
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whipping cream, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the frittata is lightly browned and puffy and the eggs are set.
  • Step 6
    Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
