There was a sunlit morning when I found myself rummaging through the fridge, contemplating what to make for breakfast. I had a handful of fresh spinach, a block of feta cheese, and an array of herbs that were just waiting to be used. As I stood there, the idea of a frittata sparked in my mind—a delightful dish that could showcase the vibrant colors and flavors of my ingredients. It turned out to be a perfect canvas for creativity, and what emerged was a fluffy, herb-infused frittata that danced with the freshness of spring.
Ingredients
– 6 large eggs
– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your frittata is cooked evenly and to perfection.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy. This will create a light and airy texture for your frittata. Set this mixture aside for a moment, allowing the flavors to meld.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. The aroma will begin to fill your kitchen, inviting you to savor the dish even before it’s cooked.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped spinach, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts down. This step not only adds flavor but also a beautiful green hue to your frittata.
Once the spinach is ready, remove the skillet from the heat. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and gently stir in the crumbled feta, dill, and parsley. This combination will bring a burst of flavor and freshness to each bite.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden on top. The anticipation will build as the frittata puffs up and fills your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Once the frittata is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it into wedges and serve warm, or at room temperature, alongside a fresh salad or crusty bread. This dish is not only visually stunning but also a celebration of flavors that will make any morning feel special.
As I enjoyed my first bite, the memories of that sunlit morning flooded back, reminding me that sometimes, the simplest ingredients can lead to the most delightful experiences. Whether it’s a leisurely breakfast or a casual brunch with friends, this Herbed Spinach and Feta Frittata is sure to impress!
