Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk or fork
  • 1 large non-stick skillet (10-12 inches)
  • Spatula
  • Oven-safe dish (if finishing in the oven)
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped (or use frozen, thawed, and drained)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese or any cheese of your choice
  • 1/4 cup milk dairy or non-dairy alternative
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: diced bell peppers mushrooms, or herbs for added flavor

Instructions
 

  • Method:
  • Prepare the Spinach:
  • If you're using fresh spinach, wash and chop it into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen spinach, ensure it's fully thawed and drained.
  • Sauté the Vegetables:
  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute, being careful not to burn it.
  • Add the Spinach:
  • Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted (if fresh) or heated through (if frozen), about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Mix the Eggs:
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and grated cheese. Add a bit more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine:
  • Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, gently stirring to distribute the spinach and onion evenly.
  • Cook on the Stovetop:
  • Reduce the heat to low and let the frittata cook for about 10-12 minutes. You’ll notice the edges start to set, while the center may still be slightly runny.
  • Finish in the Oven (Optional):
  • If you prefer a firmer texture, you can place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the top is set and lightly browned. Make sure your skillet is oven-safe before doing this!
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Once cooked, remove from the heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes. This will make slicing easier. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Variations:
  • Add Meats: Incorporate diced cooked ham, bacon, or sausage for extra protein.
  • Different Vegetables: Feel free to use zucchini, asparagus, or any vegetables you have on hand.
  • Herb Boost: Add fresh herbs like basil or parsley for added flavor.
