- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, such as cheddar or feta)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). - Prepare the Vegetables
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and zucchini, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. - Add the Spinach
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. - Whisk the Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently to combine. - Cook the Frittata
Let the frittata cook on the stove for 3-4 minutes, just until the edges start to set. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top (if using). - Bake
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden brown on top. - Serve
Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.
