Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium bell pepper (diced, any color)
- 1 small red onion (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your frittata cooks evenly and achieves that perfect golden finish.
- Sauté the vegetables: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and diced bell pepper, sautéing until the onions are translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Then add the spinach and cherry tomatoes, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the crumbled feta, fresh basil, and parsley. This mixture will be the heart of your delicious frittata, brimming with Mediterranean flair.
- Combine and cook: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, ensuring everything is well-distributed. Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for about 2 minutes without stirring; this helps form a delicate base.
- Bake the frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to avoid over-browning.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with extra herbs if desired!
