Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cheese (mozzarella, feta, or cheddar), shredded or crumbled
  • 1 small onion or 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Optional Variations

  • Cooked bacon, sausage, or ham slices, as desired
  • Alternative greens: kale, arugula, or Swiss chard
  • Red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, or hot sauce for spice
  • Sun-dried tomatoes and olives for Mediterranean style

Instructions

  1. Prepare the veggies: Wash and roughly chop fresh spinach. Finely dice onion or shallots to ensure even flavor distribution.
  2. Sauté the spinach and onions: Heat olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened. Then add spinach and sauté until wilted and tender.
  3. Whisk the eggs and season: In a mixing bowl, crack in the eggs and whisk vigorously with salt, pepper, and any fresh herbs you are using, creating a rich and fluffy base.
  4. Combine ingredients in the skillet: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed veggies and gently stir to combine. Sprinkle your choice of cheese evenly on top.
  5. Cook on stovetop and finish in oven: Let the frittata cook on low heat for a few minutes until edges begin to set. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes until the center is fully set and lightly golden.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing to help it hold together better and serve neat pieces.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to whisk better and achieve fluffier texture.
  • Do not overcook to avoid a rubbery frittata.
  • Use an oven-safe nonstick or cast-iron skillet for even cooking and easy handling.
  • Press excess moisture from spinach before adding to the skillet to prevent sogginess.
  • Let the frittata rest a few minutes after baking to set perfectly before slicing.
