Greek Spinach and Tomato Frittata
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler in your oven.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add 1 small diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add 4 cups of chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir to distribute the spinach and onion evenly. Cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny.
- Arrange 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes on top of the frittata, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill.
- Place the skillet under the broiler and broil for 3-4 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
The Greek frittata, known as "spanakopita" in Greece, is a beloved dish with a rich history.
