Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Vegetables & Cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Other
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the frittata.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Season the mixture with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Cook Spinach & Garlic: Add the minced garlic and chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach wilts down and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add Egg Mixture: Pour the seasoned egg and milk mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
- Top with Feta: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture in the skillet.
- Set Edges on Stove: Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the edges start to set.
- Bake Frittata: Transfer the oven-safe skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the center is just set and the frittata is cooked through.
- Garnish & Rest: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and let the frittata rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Add mushrooms, tomatoes, bell peppers, or zucchini for extra vegetables to enhance flavor and nutrition.
- Use goat cheese instead of feta for a tangier, creamier taste.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the frittata tender and moist rather than dry.
- Serve warm for best texture or at room temperature for easy meal prep and portability.
