Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure an oven-safe 10-inch skillet is available for cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in the oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent and soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until spinach begins to wilt.
- Spread the sautéed onions and spinach evenly across the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture over the spinach and onions, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese evenly across the surface of the frittata.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
- Cut into wedges and serve immediately, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother, more even mixture that creates a silkier texture.
- Don't overmix the eggs – whisk just until combined to keep the frittata light and fluffy.
- Choose a high-quality, fresh goat cheese for the most vibrant flavor.
- Make sure your skillet is truly oven-safe to prevent any kitchen disasters.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or chives before baking.
- Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after baking to help it set and make slicing easier.
- If you prefer a more golden top, you can briefly broil the frittata for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking.
- This dish is incredibly versatile – feel free to swap spinach with other vegetables like kale or bell peppers.
