A frittata is a quick, easy dinner — a kind of baked egg dish that puffs up beautifully in a hot oven.
You can use virtually any fillings you like, but spinach and feta is a great combination. Serve with arugula or a green salad and crusty bread. Serves 4.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup feta, cut into small cubes or crumbled
- 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces baby spinach, or regular spinach, washed and thoroughly dried, stems removed and coarsely chopped
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously with salt and pepper. Whisk in 1/2 of the feta.
- In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat. Add the spinach, working in batches, stirring frequently, until soft and wilted, adding the other 1/2 tablespoon olive oil if needed. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the whisked eggs and feta on top of the spinach and sprinkle with the remaining feta.
- Add to the middle shelf of the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes. The frittata should be puffed up and a golden brown color, and not appear liquidy or undercooked.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately. Alternately, let the frittata cool for about 5 minutes. Flip it out onto a wooden board or large plate and serve at room temperature.
