8 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (can use evaporated milk)
1 tablespoon flour *may be omitted or replaced with corn starch* for gluten-free
1 to 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt (can use regular salt)
pepper
up to 3 vegetables & meats (a total of 2 cups)
1 or 2 fresh herbs (for a total 1/3 cup) - optional
1 or 2 aromatics & spices - optional
1 or 2 cheeses (for a total of 1/2 cup) - optional
2 tablespoons olive oil
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook any meats or vegetables that need to be cooked before preparing dish.
In a large bowl whisk the eggs with the milk, flour (don't worry if the flour clumps a bit), salt and pepper.
Stir in your vegetables and/or meat into the egg mixture, folding in gently. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
When the oil is hot, pour in egg mixture and spread evenly in pan.
Turn heat to low, cover and cook until eggs pull away from the sides of the pan, 8 to 12 minutes.
Remove cover and transfer frittata to the oven and cook until completely set and top is puffed, 15 to 25 minutes.
Loosen frittata from pan by running a rubber spatula around the edges. Carefully slide frittata out of pan onto a cutting board. Let cool at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Serves 4 to 6 as a main dish.
