Super Simple Oven Baked Frittata

Thanks to our daughter I am switching to Frittata as my quick and easy dinner choice. It is so simple your kids can make it - maybe with a little help from mum or dad! For dinner it was convenient as all the items were on hand except I picked some kale from the garden instead of using spinach. Don't know why I haven't tried this dish before as it really tastes great.

Frittata Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
½ cup milk 2%
4 to 6 eggs depending on size
Parmesan Cheese
½ cup Spinach (or kale) chopped
2 x Potato (peeled) chopped
2 x Carrot chopped
1 x Red Pepper sliced
1 x onion diced

Directions

After chopping the vegetables, except kale or spinach, place on oiled oven tray and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F
Remove vegetables from oven and when cool mix together, adding in chopped kale / spinach
In a separate bowl mix the eggs, milk and add 1 - 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese
Place vegetables in 8 x 8" casserole dish and pour egg mixture over them
Sprinkle more cheese on top if you wish
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until cooked. Frittata should be firm when cooked
Serve with a salad and toasted garlic sourdough bread for a tasty meal

Options:

Substitutions and options galore such as adding sliced zucchini, kernel corn, sliced grape tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, green onions or chives
For non-vegetarian options, add chopped cooked bacon or sliced sausage pieces
My choice next time will be to add cooked shrimp to the vegetables
This recipe baked in an 8" square casserole dish is a good size meal for 4 adults
For more people, increase or double ingredients and use a larger casserole. Baking time will be longer

Notes:

An easy meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner and reheated leftovers are just as tasty
We buy and use ungraded eggs from organically fed chicken
Before baking, a finely chopped large clove of garlic was sprinkled on the top. Personal choice
All vegetables used are organic or chemical free

This frittata is a healthy meal option which your family will enjoy often. Also a dinner suggestion, especially at the last moment as no hassle.

Happy baking. Enjoy!
