Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 6 farm-fresh eggs
  • 1 small onion or 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Herbs and Garnishes

  • Fresh dill, chopped
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Wash and roughly chop the fresh baby spinach. Finely dice the onion or shallots. Crumble the feta cheese if not already crumbled. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions or shallots and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and sauté until just wilted, roughly 2 minutes.
  3. Combine Ingredients in the Pan: Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the sautéed spinach and onions, gently shaking the pan to distribute the eggs uniformly. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly on top, letting it nestle into the egg mixture.
  4. Cook on the Stove: Allow the mixture to cook undisturbed over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the edges start to set but the center remains slightly runny.
  5. Bake to Finish: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 8-10 minutes until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top. Carefully remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use fresh baby spinach and quality feta for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to allow the vegetables to cook evenly without steaming.
  • Spread the spinach and feta evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
  • Ensure the skillet is oven-safe to safely transfer from stovetop to oven.
  • Allow the frittata to rest after baking to make slicing easier and cleaner.
