Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
Other
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for finishing the frittata.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dried oregano until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Sauté Onions and Pepper: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper, sautéing until they are softened, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted.
- Combine Egg Mixture and Vegetables: Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Then sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top.
- Cook on Stovetop: Let the frittata cook undisturbed on the stovetop for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the edges to begin setting.
- Bake the Frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the frittata is fully set and has a light golden color on top.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven, let the frittata cool slightly. Slice into portions and serve warm.
Notes
- Use an oven-safe skillet such as cast iron or stainless steel to transfer from stovetop to oven safely.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute goat cheese with a plant-based cheese or omit.
- Ensure eggs are whisked thoroughly for a fluffy texture.
- You can add herbs like basil or thyme for extra flavor.
- This frittata can be served hot, warm, or at room temperature.
