Ingredients
Scale
- 9 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 8 ounces fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
- 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and Parmesan cheese until thoroughly combined.
- Add salt and freshly ground pepper, stirring gently. Set the mixture aside.
- Cook the Onion and Garlic
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté the chopped onion for 4–5 minutes until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (if using) and cook for an additional minute.
- Wilt the Spinach
- Introduce the spinach to the skillet in batches, adding handfuls at a time.
- Use tongs to toss the spinach with the onion mixture.
- As the spinach wilts and reduces in volume, add more until all the spinach is incorporated.
- Combine with the Egg Mixture
- Spread the spinach mixture evenly across the skillet.
- Pour the prepared egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the spinach mixture, allowing the egg mixture to seep beneath.
- Add Goat Cheese and Cook
- Scatter the crumbled goat cheese evenly across the top of the frittata.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 10–13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly.
- Broil to Finish
- Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack in the upper third of the oven.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 3–4 minutes, or until the top becomes lightly golden.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for several minutes before serving.
Notes
- The skillet handle will remain extremely hot after broiling. Cool it using a piece of ice or continue to handle it with mitts to avoid burns.
- Feel free to add other veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini for variation.
