Ingredient Notes

The four main ingredients for this frittata are 1 cup of chopped fresh spinach, 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese, 1 pound of large eggs, and 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes. You can substitute the spinach with kale or Swiss chard for variation. For feta, try goat cheese if you prefer a different tangy flavor. Ensure the tomatoes are ripe for the best taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined.
  4. Add in the diced tomatoes and feta cheese, and mix gently.
  5. Step 3: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed spinach in the skillet.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the stovetop until the edges start to set.
  7. Step 4: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the center is fully set and slightly golden.

Things I’ve Learned

Avoid overly watery vegetables like zucchini that can dilute the frittata mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently in the microwave. You can also make this frittata ahead of time; it tastes great cold or at room temperature, making it ideal for meal prep.
