Ingredients
- 9 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 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
-
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 pepper, stirring gently. Set this mixture aside. -
Cook the Onion and Garlic:
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 4-5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (if using) and cook for an additional minute. -
Wilt the Spinach:
Introduce 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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
- You can skip the sun-dried tomatoes if you prefer a more traditional flavor or don’t have them on hand.
