• Eggs: 10 large eggs, the foundation of our frittata, providing protein and structure. Opt for fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture.
• Milk or Cream: ½ cup milk or cream (or a mix), adds richness and moisture, contributing to a tender and fluffy frittata. You can use whole milk, 2%, skim milk, or even heavy cream for extra indulgence. For a dairy-free option, consider unsweetened almond milk or oat milk, though it may slightly alter the texture.
• Shredded Cheese: 1 ½ cups shredded cheese, the star of the show, adding flavor and cheesy goodness. A blend of cheeses works wonderfully, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, Gruyere, or Parmesan. Feel free to experiment with your favorite cheese combinations to customize the flavor profile. Pre-shredded cheese is convenient, but freshly grated cheese melts more smoothly and often has a better flavor.
• Salt: ½ teaspoon salt, enhances the flavors of all the ingredients and seasons the frittata perfectly. Use kosher salt or sea salt for the best taste.
• Black Pepper: ¼ teaspoon black pepper, adds a subtle spice and depth of flavor. Freshly ground black pepper is always recommended for a more vibrant taste.
• Optional Add-ins: These are entirely customizable to your preference and what you have on hand. Consider adding cooked vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, broccoli, asparagus, or tomatoes. Cooked meats like crumbled bacon, sausage, or ham also work beautifully. Fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, basil, or thyme can add a fresh and aromatic touch.
