Ingredients
  

For the Frittata Base
  • 8 large Eggs Use large eggs for best structure and protein.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Adds creaminess; substitute with skim milk for a lighter option.
  • 1 can Refrigerated Biscuit Dough Provides a fluffy base; frozen biscuits can be used if thawed as per instructions.
For the Cheesy Goodness
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Melts beautifully and contributes rich flavor; feel free to substitute with your favorite cheese.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Adds a delightful stretch; can be replaced with provolone for another creamy option.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Provides a nutty, salty kick; grated Pecorino Romano makes a great alternative.
For the Flavor Boosters
  • 1 cup Bell Pepper Offers color and a hint of sweetness; swap for diced tomatoes or zucchini if preferred.
  • 1 medium Onion Enhances depth of flavor; shallots or leeks work wonderfully instead.
  • 2 cups Spinach Infuses nutrition and vibrant color; consider using kale or Swiss chard as substitutes.
