Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If not already done, peel and cut the pumpkin into small cubes.
3. Cook Pumpkin:
- In a medium-sized skillet, add a little olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Add the pumpkin cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 8-10 minutes).
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 eggs and 1/4 cup of milk until well combined.
- Add the chopped scallions, minced garlic, grated cheddar cheese, and a bit of salt and pepper to the egg mixture. Mix well.
- Gently fold the cooked pumpkin cubes into the egg mixture, ensuring the pumpkin is evenly distributed.
- Lightly grease an oven-safe skillet or baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
- Pour the pumpkin and egg mixture into the prepared skillet or baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- A knife inserted into the middle should come out clean.
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra scallions or cheese if desired.
Tips:
- Pre-cook the pumpkin: To ensure the pumpkin cooks evenly in the frittata, pre-cook it by steaming or roasting until tender.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh scallions, garlic, and cheese will enhance the flavor of your frittata.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly: Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, making the frittata light and fluffy.
- Cook over medium heat: Cooking the frittata over medium heat prevents it from burning and ensures it cooks evenly.
- Finish in the oven: To achieve a perfectly set and golden frittata, consider finishing it in the oven under the broiler for a few minutes.
- Let it rest: Allow the frittata to rest for a few minutes after cooking to make slicing easier and to help the flavors meld together.
