Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your frittata cooks evenly and sets properly.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs. Whisk them together until well combined, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the 1 cup of chopped fresh spinach to the bowl with the eggs. Stir gently to incorporate the spinach into the egg mixture.
- Next, fold in the 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese and the 1 cup of diced tomatoes. Ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm for about 1 minute, making sure it coats the bottom of the skillet.
- Once the oil is hot, pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on the stovetop, gently stirring the edges to allow the uncooked egg to flow to the bottom.
- After 5 minutes, when the edges begin to set, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden brown on top.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges.
- Serve the spinach, feta, and tomato frittata warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it as a delicious breakfast, brunch, or light lunch!
Tips
- Use a non-stick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Whisk your eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which helps create a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Don't overcook the frittata—it should be slightly jiggly in the center when you remove it from the oven, as it will continue cooking from residual heat.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like fresh basil or oregano to your egg mixture.
- Allow the frittata to rest for a few minutes after cooking to help it set and make slicing easier.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like goat cheese or mozzarella for unique flavor profiles.
- Serve with a light side salad or crusty bread to complete your meal.
