Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
Vegetables and Herbs (Optional)
- 1 cup Vegetables (spinach or tomatoes suggested)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (such as chives or basil)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk well with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is uniform and lightly frothy.
- Add Cheeses: Stir in the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, grated parmesan, and cubed cream cheese to the egg mixture. Mix gently so the cheeses are evenly distributed.
- Incorporate Vegetables and Herbs: Fold in your choice of vegetables such as chopped spinach or diced tomatoes along with the fresh herbs for added flavor and freshness.
- Cook on Stovetop: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the skillet and cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
- Bake the Frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, firm and golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the frittata from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice into 4 portions. Serve warm for a rich and satisfying brunch.
Notes
- Use an oven-safe skillet or transfer contents to a greased baking dish before baking.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables or herbs.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- For fluffier texture, beat eggs thoroughly to incorporate air.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in a microwave or oven.
