A quick and easy Mediterranean diet breakfast featuring fluffy eggs, tender spinach, and creamy feta cheese. Perfect for a nutritious and satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or dill), chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler and place the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn.
  4. Add fresh spinach in batches, stirring until wilted and bright green, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk 6 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk vigorously for about 2 minutes until frothy and pale yellow.
  6. Fold in crumbled feta cheese, chopped herbs, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes or lemon zest. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Add the cooled spinach mixture into the eggs and gently fold to distribute evenly.
  8. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in the same skillet. Pour in the egg and spinach mixture, spreading evenly.
  9. Cook without stirring for about 5 minutes until edges are set but center is slightly runny.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the oven’s broiler and broil for 3-5 minutes until the top is golden and fully set.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Whisk eggs thoroughly to incorporate air for fluffiness. Cook spinach gently to avoid mushiness. Use an oven-safe skillet to cook and broil the frittata evenly. Watch the broiler closely to prevent burning. Let the frittata rest before slicing to finish cooking and make serving easier. You can prepare the spinach mixture a day ahead to save time.
