Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure an oven-safe 10-inch skillet is available for cooking.
- Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Add the salsa, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper to the eggs. Gently mix all ingredients until well incorporated.
- Place an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients across the surface.
- Cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata begin to set and slightly pull away from the sides of the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven using oven mitts and let the frittata rest for 2-3 minutes to allow for easier slicing.
- Slice into wedges and serve hot, garnishing with additional green onions if desired.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh salsa and high-quality cheese. This will enhance the overall taste of your frittata.
- Customize Your Add-ins: Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients like bell peppers, spinach, or even cooked meats to personalize your frittata.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the frittata while it’s baking. Ovens can vary in temperature, so check for a golden top and a fully set center to avoid overcooking.
- Let It Rest: Allowing the frittata to rest for a few minutes after baking makes it easier to slice and serve without falling apart.
- Garnish for Presentation: A sprinkle of extra green onions or a dollop of sour cream on top can elevate the presentation and add a burst of flavor.
