Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium butternut squash or 1 cup roasted squash peeled, seeded, cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper sweet pepper deseeded and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for roasting vegetables
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese optional, such as Gruyère or cheddar
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet or ovenproof pan
  • Whisk
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cubed squash and sliced peppers on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly. Roast for about 20 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the vegetables roast, beat the eggs in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the chopped sage, minced garlic, salt, and pepper for seasoning. If using cheese, fold it into the egg mixture now.
  3. Once the vegetables are roasted and slightly cooled, gently fold them into the egg mixture, distributing evenly. This creates a colorful and flavorful filling.
  4. Pour the mixture into an ovenproof skillet or straight into a greased cast-iron pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even cooking surface.
  5. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the eggs are puffed and set, and the top is lightly golden brown.
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm, enjoying the comforting aroma and vibrant colors.

Notes

Feel free to customize with other seasonal vegetables or herbs. For a richer flavor, sprinkle more cheese before baking.
