Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure you have a 9-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet ready.
Sautéing Aromatics
- Heat the olive oil in the 9-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has softened and become translucent.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the shallots. Cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Wilt Spinach
- Add the roughly chopped fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes until the spinach has completely wilted and reduced significantly in volume. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Prepare Egg Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Combine and Pour
- Gently fold the crumbled feta cheese into the egg mixture. Pour the egg and feta mixture evenly over the wilted spinach and shallot/garlic in the skillet. Use a spoon to evenly distribute the spinach and feta if needed.
Cooking the Frittata
- Place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium-low heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the edges of the frittata begin to set and pull away from the sides of the pan, and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden brown on top, and set in the center. To check for doneness, a knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Rest and Serve
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest in the skillet for 5 minutes before slicing it into wedges and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Leftover frittata can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It reheats well in a microwave or a low oven, or can be enjoyed cold. Feel free to add other vegetables like diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes; sauté them with the shallots before adding spinach for more flavor and texture.
