Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Vegetables & Cheese
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
Cooking
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the frittata.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and oregano until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and diced red bell pepper, cooking and stirring occasionally until they soften, about 5 minutes.
- Cook Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes until wilted, mixing it with the other vegetables.
- Add Egg Mixture & Goat Cheese: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly on top of the eggs.
- Set Edges Stovetop: Cook the mixture on the stovetop without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the edges to begin setting and firming up.
- Bake Frittata: Transfer the skillet carefully to the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the frittata is fully set, puffed slightly, and lightly golden on top.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven, let the frittata cool slightly for a few minutes, then slice into portions and serve warm.
Notes
- Use an oven-safe skillet such as cast iron or stainless steel to ensure safe transfer from stovetop to oven.
- You can substitute goat cheese with feta or ricotta for a different flavor profile.
- For extra flavor, add chopped fresh herbs like basil or parsley when serving.
- Make sure not to stir after adding the egg mixture so the frittata sets properly.
