Allergen Information:

This recipe is gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free. See the FAQ for a dairy-free option.

Ingredient Notes:

• Eggs - Use size large eggs.
• Butter - You can use salted or unsalted butter.
• Cheese - This can be any flavor you have on hand. We used shredded mild cheddar.
• Leeks - I like leeks because they are milder than onion, but you can also use onion.
• Bell peppers - Feel free to use any color of bell pepper.
• Heavy Cream - I do not advise using half and half. Milk will also work, but the frittata turns out fluffier if you use heavy cream.

Tips For Sucess:

• Really whip the eggs and heavy cream well. This will add air and make the frittata fluffier.
• Use any vegetables you have on hand. This is a great recipe to avoid food waste!
• I like using a cast iron pan because it can go from the stovetop to the oven for broiling.

How To Make A Gluten Free Frittata:

Step 1: Cook your vegetables first in some oil over medium heat. It helps them release their water and allows the flavors to blend together.

Step 2: Add the eggs, cream, and cilantro to a large bowl and whisk well until the mixture is nice and fluffy.

🔑 Sandi says: Add your seasoning now to the raw egg mixture, so that it blends throughout the egg evenly.

Step 3: Pour the egg mixture into the vegetables and cook for 8 minutes. Put shredded cheese on top and place under a broiler for 2-4 minutes to melt the cheese.
