Ingredients

  • 8 large Eggs
  • 1 each Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 each Yellow Bell Pepper
  • 1/2 each Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Dice the 1/2 onion into 1/4-inch pieces and mince the 2 cloves garlic. Cut the 1 red bell pepper and 1 yellow bell pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop the 2 tbsp fresh parsley and 1 tbsp fresh oregano.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk the 8 large eggs with the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. 3Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced 1/2 onion and minced 2 cloves garlic to the skillet and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent.
  4. 4Add the 1 red bell pepper and 1 yellow bell pepper (cut into 1/2-inch pieces) to the skillet with the softened onions and garlic. Cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are slightly softened but still have a slight bite.
  5. 5Pour the whisked 8 large eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Immediately sprinkle the chopped 2 tbsp fresh parsley and chopped 1 tbsp fresh oregano over the egg mixture.
  6. 6Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and the edges are lightly golden.
  7. 7Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool in the skillet for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows it to firm up and makes it easier to serve. Serve the Portuguese Frittata warm.
