Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Other
- 1 cup shredded cheese (feta or cheddar)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil to warm it up.
- Sauté Onions and Spinach: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 3 minutes.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, seasoning the mixture with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Combine and Cook: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed onions and spinach in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Cook undisturbed on the stovetop for about 5 minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Bake in Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the frittata is puffed and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the frittata to cool slightly before slicing it into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious meal.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk to make it dairy-free.
- Feel free to add herbs such as parsley or chives for additional flavor.
- Use an oven-safe skillet such as cast iron to ensure safety when transferring to the oven.
- Letting the frittata cool a bit helps it set fully and makes slicing easier.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
