Ingredients
Frittata
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red and green)
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Sandwich Assembly
- 4 slices artisan bread or sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or optional aioli
- Fresh mixed greens or arugula
- 4 slices tomato
- 2 teaspoons butter for toasting bread
Instructions
- Prepare the frittata mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy. Stir in the diced bell peppers, onion, spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cook the frittata: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook without stirring for about 4-5 minutes, until the edges begin to set. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
- Cool and slice: Remove the frittata from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, cut it into halves or quarters suitable for sandwich portions.
- Toast the bread: Butter one side of each bread slice. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and toast the bread slices, butter side down, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread mayonnaise on the unbuttered sides of the toasted bread. Place a slice of the frittata on one slice of bread, add tomato slices, fresh greens, then top with the other slice of bread, mayonnaise side down.
- Serve: Slice the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately while warm and fresh.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetables in the frittata to your preference or what you have available, including mushrooms, zucchini, or tomatoes.
- For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based milk and omit the cheese or use a vegan cheese alternative.
- To add extra flavor, mix fresh herbs such as parsley or chives into the egg mixture before cooking.
- Leftover frittata can be refrigerated and reheated gently for another meal.
- Consider serving with a side salad or fruit for a complete meal.
