Yields: 2-3 servings Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 10-15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped (optional)
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A few cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)
- Fresh herbs like parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish)
Equipment:
- Oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron, about 8-10 inches)
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
Instructions:
- Sautรฉ Aromatics and Spinach:
- Heat the olive oil in your oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- If using onion, add it to the skillet and sautรฉ until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until it wilts down significantly, about 2-3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Whisk Eggs and Dairy:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Assemble the Frittata:
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the wilted spinach in the skillet.
- Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and feta.
- Cook on Stovetop:
- Cook the frittata on the stovetop over low to medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set but the center is still slightly liquid.
- Finish in the Oven (or Stovetop):
- Oven Method: Preheat your oven broiler to low. Carefully transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the frittata is set in the center. Watch it closely to prevent burning.
- Stovetop Method (if your skillet isn’t oven-safe): Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for another 5-10 minutes, or until the frittata is set.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Carefully slide the frittata onto a cutting board or leave it in the skillet.
- Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and fresh chopped herbs.
