Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F, and set an oven rack in the middle position.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a 10-inch cast iron or ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not brown. Add the cooked vegetables and stir to combine.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Add the cooked vegetable mixture and cheese to the egg mixture and stir to combine. Pour the mixture back into the pan (no need to wash it), then place it in the oven and bake until set, 20 to 23 minutes. Immediately place an oven mitt over the pan handle to remind yourself that it is hot (it's easy to forget and burn your hand, and the handle stays hot for a long time).

Step 5

Serve the frittata directly from the pan, or use a rubber spatula to loosen the edges and slide the frittata onto a serving platter.

Chef’s notes

Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions:

The cooked frittata will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Remove the frittata from the freezer about 24 hours prior to serving and reheat it in the microwave or, covered with foil, in a 300°F oven until hot in the center.
