Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Dice onion, mince garlic, and chop assorted vegetables.
  2. In a cast iron skillet, heat over medium heat and add bacon. Cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in chopped vegetables and cover skillet to steam for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika. Fold in cheddar cheese.
  5. Pour egg mixture over skillet contents, stir edges gently, and cook for 3-5 minutes until edges start to set.
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake frittata for 7-10 minutes until top is golden brown and center is set.
  7. Cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
