Ingredients
- Eggs: 6 large eggs
- Avocado: 1 ripe avocado, diced
- Bell pepper: 1 bell pepper (any color), diced

Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Sauté Vegetables: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 5-7 minutes. If using spinach, add it in the last minute and cook until wilted.

Prepare Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined. You can also add a splash of milk or cream for extra creaminess if desired.
-
Combine: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to combine.
-
Add Avocado and Cheese: Scatter the diced avocado and shredded cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
-
Cook on Stovetop: Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for about 3-5 minutes, until the edges start to set.
-
Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the middle and lightly golden on top.
-
Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
-
Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature!
This avocado frittata is versatile, and you can easily add other ingredients like tomatoes, mushrooms, or cooked bacon for extra flavor. Enjoy your meal!
