Ingredients

• Vegetables
  • 2 cups (60 g) fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) sun-dried tomatoes, julienned (packed in oil, drained)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
• Dairy & Eggs
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
• Spices & Seasonings
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a medium ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

3. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 more minute.

4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in feta and Parmesan.

5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir once to combine, then cook on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes until the edges start to set.

6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is slightly golden.

7. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For a consistently fluffy texture, be sure not to overcook the frittata on the stovetop before baking. Using fresh spinach brings vibrant color, but thawed and well-drained frozen spinach is a convenient substitute when fresh is not available. Allow the frittata to rest briefly after baking to let the center set fully for easier slicing.

Varianten und Anpassungen

To make this dish dairy-free, opt for plant-based feta alternatives and omit the Parmesan cheese. For added herbs, fresh oregano or basil can complement the flavor profile beautifully. You may also toss in sliced bell peppers or mushrooms for variation, while keeping the vegetarian and gluten-free integrity intact.

Serviervorschläge

Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature alongside a crisp green salad or slices of crusty bread to soak up any residual savory juices. This Mediterranean dish pairs wonderfully with a chilled Sauvignon Blanc or your favorite light white wine for a complete meal experience.
