Ingredients Needed

Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the roasted red peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes to warm them up.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the top. Let it cook on the stovetop for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
