Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or basil), chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices whole grain bread or sourdough
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup leafy greens
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper until softened, then add spinach and cook until wilted.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Stir the cooked vegetables, cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, and cheese into the egg mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the center is fully set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the frittata to cool slightly, then cut into sandwich-sized portions.
- Toast the bread slices until lightly crisp.
- Layer leafy greens and avocado on the bottom slices of bread, add a portion of frittata, and top with the remaining bread slices.
- Serve warm or wrap for a portable breakfast.
Notes
- Sauté vegetables before adding them to the eggs to avoid excess moisture.
- Do not overbake the frittata to maintain a soft, fluffy texture.
- Store frittata slices separately from bread for best meal-prep results.
- Refrigerate leftover frittata for up to 4 days.
- Freeze individual frittata portions for up to 2 months.
- Use sturdy bread such as sourdough or whole grain for easier assembly.
