Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish
Grab an 8×8-inch baking dish or similar oven-safe pan. Lightly grease it with a little butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking. You can even line it with parchment paper for an extra-easy cleanup.
Step 3: Whisk the Base
In a medium bowl, crack all six eggs and pour in the milk. Use a whisk or fork to beat them together until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Tip: Whisking thoroughly incorporates air, which will help your frittata bake into a light, fluffy texture.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
Stir in your shredded cheese until evenly distributed. The cheese will melt and create pockets of gooey, cheesy goodness throughout the bake.
Optional: You can also fold in extras like diced cooked ham, pre-cooked sausage, or frozen vegetables that have been thawed. Just keep it simple if you want the classic version.
Step 5: Pour and Smooth
Pour the egg and cheese mixture into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. This ensures uniform cooking and a consistent texture in every slice.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is lightly golden. To test doneness, insert a toothpick in the center—it should come out clean.
Tip: Avoid opening the oven too early; this can cause the frittata to collapse slightly.
Step 7: Cool Slightly, Slice, and Serve
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. This makes it easier to slice into squares or wedges without falling apart. Serve warm, or let it cool completely and store in the fridge for a make-ahead breakfast or snack during the week.
