Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To ensure your frittata has perfect texture, avoid overcooking by checking the center for just-set doneness. Use a gentle spatula to evenly distribute ingredients before baking, and try to sauté the vegetables until just softened to maintain freshness.
