Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Egg Mixture
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and salt until well combined and slightly frothy. This aeration helps create a light, fluffy frittata. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and dice the bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Step 3: Grease the Pan & Assemble
Melt the butter in an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, ensuring the bottom and sides are evenly coated to prevent sticking. Evenly distribute the cherry tomatoes, diced bell peppers, and arugula in the pan.
Step 4: Add the Eggs & Cheese
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, making sure it spreads evenly. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella over the top, followed by crumbled goat cheese. Lightly stir with a fork to incorporate the cheese slightly into the eggs, but don’t overmix—some cheese should remain on top for a delicious golden finish.
Step 5: Bake
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is firm. The top should have a light golden hue. For best results, use a food thermometer—the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Step 6: Garnish & Serve
Let the frittata rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs for extra flavor. Serve warm on its own, with toast, or alongside a fresh salad.
