Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 large garlic clove (minced)
  • 8 ounces fresh spinach (coarsely chopped)
  • 2 ounces goat cheese (crumbled)
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (chopped, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and Parmesan cheese until thoroughly combined.
  • Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, stirring gently.
  • Set this mixture aside.

Step 2: Cook the Onion and Garlic

  • Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Sauté the chopped onion for 4–5 minutes, or until translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (if using) and cook for an additional minute.

Step 3: Wilt the Spinach

  • Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, adding handfuls at a time.
  • Use tongs to toss the leaves with the onion mixture.
  • As the spinach wilts and reduces in volume, add more until all the spinach is incorporated.

Step 4: Combine with the Egg Mixture

  • Spread the spinach mixture evenly across the skillet.
  • Pour the prepared egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
  • Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the spinach mixture, allowing the egg mixture to seep beneath.

Step 5: Add Goat Cheese and Cook

  • Scatter the crumbled goat cheese evenly across the top of the frittata.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 10–13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly.

Step 6: Broil to Finish

  • Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack in the upper third of the oven.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 3–4 minutes, or until the top becomes lightly golden.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for several minutes before serving.

Notes

  • The skillet handle will remain extremely hot after broiling. Cool it using a piece of ice or continue to handle it with mitts to avoid burns.
  • Feel free to add more vegetables (such as bell peppers or mushrooms) or swap the goat cheese with feta or cheddar for a different flavor.
