Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 yellow potatoes cut in small cubes
1 medium onion chopped
8 ounces mushrooms thick sliced
1 small zucchini cut in small cubes
½ red pepper cut in small dice
2 clove garlic minced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves see notes
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
10 eggs
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup cheddar cheese finely grated
½ cup fresh grated Parmesan

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the potatoes and cook until they begin to brown, stirring a couple of times. As they begin to brown, start adding the onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Stagger them in the pan in that order every 1-2 minutes.
Lower the heat and add the garlic, fresh thyme, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whipping cream, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan Cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the frittata is lightly browned and puffy and the eggs are set.
Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Remember that the handle of an ovenproof skillet will get very hot. Hot skillet handle covers are inexpensive and practical for recipes like this, reminding us not to touch the hot handle.
Let the frittata cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Then top with fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, basil, or chives.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave at reduced power.
