Flavor Friday - Herb and Spinach Frittata

A light, fluffy, and flavorful frittata packed with fresh spinach, herbs, and creamy cheese. Perfect for a healthy and satisfying brunch!

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs

• ¼ cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

• ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

• ¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley, chives, basil, or dill), chopped

• ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or goat cheese)

• 1 small onion, finely diced

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Grease an oven-safe skillet or baking dish with olive oil or butter.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

• Heat olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

• Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.

• Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• Add the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.

• Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Whisk the Eggs

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.

• Stir in the fresh herbs and shredded cheese.

4. Assemble the Frittata

• Pour the egg mixture into the oven-safe skillet with the sautéed vegetables.

• Gently scatter the cherry tomatoes on top.

5. Bake the Frittata

• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top.

• To test, insert a knife into the center—it should come out clean.

6. Serve & Enjoy

• Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing.

• Garnish with extra fresh herbs and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with crusty bread or toast for a complete meal.

• Serve with a side salad for a light and fresh brunch.

• Enjoy with a dollop of Greek yogurt or avocado slices for extra creaminess.
