- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 carrots, shredded or finely diced
- 1 bunch of spinach
- 1t salt
- 1T black pepper

- 1T olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, torn
Instructions
- Prep the Vegetables: Preheat your broiler to high. Dice the onion, bell peppers, and carrots into small, uniform pieces.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, spinach, bell peppers, and carrots. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Let them cool slightly.
- Prepare the Topping: While the vegetables are cooking, arrange the cherry tomatoes on a separate baking sheet. Broil for 3-5 minutes until they start to burst and blister. Set aside.
- Assemble the Frittata: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the grated cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Gently fold in the cooked vegetables.
- Bake the Frittata: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Top the frittata with the broiled cherry tomatoes and torn basil, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Cook on medium-low heat for a few minutes until the edges set then bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown.
- Serve: Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
