Ingredients
  

Eggs & Dairy
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk whole or 2%
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
Vegetables & Aromatics
  • 5 oz fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion or 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved (optional)
Seasoning & Oil
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste

Equipment

  • 10-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Spatula

Method
 

Prepare Ingredients & Oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Dice the onion or shallots finely and mince the garlic. Roughly chop the fresh spinach.
Sauté Vegetables
  1. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion/shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  2. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has completely wilted and most of its liquid has evaporated, about 3-5 minutes. If using, add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened. Remove the skillet from heat and spread the vegetable mixture evenly across the bottom.
Prepare Egg Mixture
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Assemble & Bake Frittata
  1. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the spinach mixture in the skillet. Pour the whisked egg mixture over the vegetables and feta, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
  2. Return the skillet to medium-low heat on the stovetop. Cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the edges of the frittata to just begin to set. Do not stir.
  3. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden on top. An inserted knife or toothpick should come out clean.
Rest & Serve
  1. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest in the skillet for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm.

Notes

For an extra golden-brown top, you can briefly broil the frittata for 1-2 minutes after baking, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning. This frittata is versatile! Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
