Method
 

How to Make Denver Frittata
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, creating the perfect foundation for your frittata.
  2. Sauté the chopped onions and bell peppers for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become softened and fragrant, letting their natural sweetness emerge.
  3. Add the fresh baby spinach, salt, and pepper; cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and turns a vibrant green, mixing beautifully with the other veggies.
  4. Whisk the six large eggs in a bowl until frothy. Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, allowing it to blend smoothly into the egg mixture for a cheesy delight.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, stirring gently to combine. This will create a delicious harmony of flavors and textures.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the frittata is golden brown and firm to the touch, signaling that it’s ready to be devoured!
