4. Add the roasted vegetables and toss until all is well mixed.
5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the half and half and season with the remaining salt and pepper.
6. Add the cheese to the egg mixture and pour into the skillet over the vegetables.
7. Cook the frittata over medium heat for one to two minutes, gently pushing the sides down along the edges as you go.
8. Place the frittata into the 400-degree oven and bake until the eggs are set and frittata is puffed and golden. Serve immediately.
