PREP TIME: 15 minutes
COOK TIME: 40 minutes

Ingredients
9 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1 cup shredded jack or cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small red onion, cut into wedges
8 ounces brown mushrooms, sliced in half
1 bell pepper, seeded, cored and thinly sliced
8-10 stalks broccolini, tough ends removed and sliced in half lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 F.

Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet to medium-high on the stovetop. Add onion wedges, mushrooms, and bell pepper to pan. Cook, flipping every 3 minutes, until the edges of the vegetables begin to brown. Once browned, remove vegetables from heat and set aside.

Add eggs, cream or half-and-half, salt and pepper to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add cheese and fold gently to combine.

Spray an 8"x8" glass baking dish with cooking spray. Add egg mixture to dish. Place veggies onto the egg mixture, pressing the veggies gently down to half immerse them into the egg mixture.

Bake until eggs are set in the middle, about 25-35 minutes. Allow frittata to cool for a few minutes before serving.
