Description

This spinach frittata is a perfect combination of eggs, spinach, goat cheese, and Parmesan, all cooked together for a light and savory dish. It’s great for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner, with the option to add sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 8 ounces fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Egg Mixture
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and Parmesan cheese until thoroughly combined. Add the salt and freshly ground pepper, stirring gently. Set this mixture aside.

  • Cook the Onion and Garlic
    Heat olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 4–5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (if using) and cook for an additional minute.

  • Wilt the Spinach
    Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, adding handfuls at a time. Use tongs to toss the spinach leaves with the onion mixture. As the spinach wilts and reduces in volume, add more until all the spinach is incorporated.

  • Combine with the Egg Mixture
    Spread the spinach mixture evenly across the skillet. Pour the prepared egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the spinach mixture, allowing the egg mixture to seep beneath.

  • Add Goat Cheese and Cook
    Scatter the crumbled goat cheese evenly across the top of the frittata. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 10–13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly.

  • Broil to Finish
    Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 3–4 minutes or until the top becomes lightly golden. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for several minutes before serving.

Notes

  • The skillet handle will remain extremely hot after broiling. Cool it using a piece of ice or continue to handle it with mitts to avoid burns.
  • Optional sun-dried tomatoes add a sweet and tangy flavor, but the frittata is also delicious without them.
