A delightful and easy-to-make spinach and cheese frittata, perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your frittata.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and milk until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the eggs and pepper to the bowl, and whisk until well combined.
Whisking thoroughly incorporates air, making the frittata fluffier.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, spinach, onion, mushrooms, and ham.
Distribute the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and pour in the mixture.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the skillet.
Cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
Ensure the skillet is oven-safe to avoid transferring the mixture to another dish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top.
Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Cooling allows the frittata to set further, making it easier to slice.
