Ingredients
  

For the Frittata
  • 6 large large eggs Fresh and at room temperature for fluffiness.
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%) Can substitute with a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite blend) Cheddar recommended for classic flavor.
  • 1 cup cooked or sautéed vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions) Feel free to use seasonal veggies.
  • 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (6-8 biscuits) Alternative: puff pastry or homemade biscuits.
For Seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste Essential for enhancing flavors.
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes Optional for a bit of heat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a greased, oven-safe skillet, cut the biscuit dough into quarters, place them at the bottom of the skillet, and gently press them out to form a base. Bake for about 10 minutes until they are lightly golden.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheese and your choice of cooked vegetables into the egg mixture.
Baking
  1. Once the biscuit base is ready, pour the egg mixture evenly over the biscuits.
  2. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg is fully set and a nice golden color on top.
  3. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure eggs are at room temperature before mixing for a fluffier texture. Keep an eye on the frittata while baking to avoid overcooking; the top should be firm but still slightly jiggly when you remove it from the oven. Variations include using feta or goat cheese, or replacing biscuits with a layer of hash browns.
