Spinach Frittata with Feta
This Spinach Frittata Recipe is a delicious, versatile egg dish. Easy frittata cooks in 25 minutes and is perfect for any special breakfast.
Ingredients
- 8 large Eggs
- ⅓ cup Milk
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- ½ small Yellow onion, chopped
- 1 cup Asparagus, chopped
- 2 cups Baby spinach, packed
- ½ cup White cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
- 5 ounces Feta cheese
Instructions
- Place the oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350℉.
- In a large bowl, use a whisk to beat eggs with milk, salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet on medium heat. (Cast iron skillets work great)
- Add yellow onion and asparagus to pan and sauté until soft, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Spread the cooked vegetables evenly in a skillet and pour egg mixture over them.
- Stir in ¼ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Crumble feta cheese on top.
- Cook without stirring until eggs are just beginning to set around the edges, this takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake frittata until almost set in center, about 15 minutes.
- Remove skillet from oven and top with the remaining ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Set oven broiler to high and broil the frittata for about 2 minutes or until top is golden brown. Keep a close eye on the pan to prevent burning.
- Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Christina's Notes
- Whisk Gently: Gently whisk the eggs with milk or heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Over-whisking incorporates too much air, leading to a rubbery texture.
- Season the Eggs First: Season the egg mixture before adding the vegetables.
- Low and Slow: Cook the frittata with spinach and feta over low to medium heat to prevent the eggs from setting too quickly.
- Rest Before Cutting: Let the frittata rest for a few minutes before cutting to allow it to set properly.
