Ingredients

4 servings

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
¾ cup thinly sliced shallots, (from 2 to 3 shallots)
2 cups seasoned, (cooked vegetables or greens)
8 large eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1¼ cup shredded cheese, (such as Cheddar or Gruyere)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C), and set an oven rack in the middle position.
Heat the oil in a 10-inch (25-cm) cast iron or ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not brown. Add the cooked vegetables and stir to combine.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
Add the cooked vegetable mixture and cheese to the egg mixture and stir to combine. Pour the mixture back into the pan (no need to wash it), then place it in the oven and bake until set, 20 to 23 minutes. Immediately place an oven mitt over the pan handle to remind yourself that it is hot (it's easy to forget and burn your hand, and the handle stays hot for a long time). Serve the frittata directly from the pan, or use a rubber spatula to loosen the edges and slide the frittata onto a serving platter.
