Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and gently stir to combine. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown.
