Directions
Heat the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the scallions and garlic, stirring constantly, and cook for about 40 seconds.
Add the mushrooms, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until mushrooms are partially browned.
Stir in the bell peppers, and cook for another 2 minutes until the bell peppers just start to soften.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Meanwhile in a bowl, whisk together eggs and milks until well blended.
Stir in the cheese.
Season with hot sauce, salt and black pepper.
Pour the egg-milk mixture into the skillet, and cook over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the edges are almost set.
Reduce heat to medium-low or low, cover the skillet, and continue to cook for another 8 to 10 minutes until the frittata is set.
Meanwhile preheat the broil, broil the frittata for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned.
Remove the skillet from the oven (be careful that the skillet is very hot, so use kitchen towel or gloves)
Place the frittata onto the serving plate.
Serve warm with more hot sauce if needed.
