Ina Garten Roasted Vegetable Frittata Ingredients

• 2 red bell peppers, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 8 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Gruyère or Fontina cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

How To Make Ina Garten Roasted Vegetable Frittata Recipe

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Roast the vegetables: Toss diced bell peppers, zucchini, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, until tender and caramelized. Remove and set aside.
3. Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, Gruyère, Parmesan, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Combine and assemble: Lower oven temp to 350°F (175°C). Add roasted vegetables to a greased ovenproof skillet or baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over top.
5. Bake the frittata: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is golden. Let cool slightly.
6. Garnish and serve: Top with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
