Mediterranean Frittata with Tzatziki Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently to distribute the vegetables evenly. Cook for 4-5 minutes, lifting the edges with a spatula to let the uncooked eggs flow underneath.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the frittata. Place the skillet under the broiler for 3-4 minutes until the top is set and golden brown.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well to make the tzatziki sauce.
- Slice the frittata into wedges and serve with a dollop of tzatziki sauce on the side. Enjoy!
