Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 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

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 8 ounces fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)

Cheese

  • 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and grated Parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined. Add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, stirring gently to incorporate, then set aside.
  2. Cook the Onion and Garlic: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until translucent and softened.
  3. Add Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes if using. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Wilt the Spinach: Gradually add the fresh chopped spinach to the skillet in batches. Use tongs to toss the spinach with the onion mixture, allowing it to wilt and reduce in volume before adding more until all spinach is incorporated.
  5. Combine with the Egg Mixture: Spread the spinach mixture evenly across the skillet. Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the vegetables. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the spinach mixture so the egg mixture can seep underneath for even cooking.
  6. Add Goat Cheese and Cook: Scatter the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook gently for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly.
  7. Broil to Finish: Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack in the upper third of your oven. Transfer the skillet into the oven and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the top of the frittata turns lightly golden and slightly puffed.
  8. Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata sit for several minutes to cool slightly and finish setting before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe skillet to seamlessly transfer from stovetop to broiler.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes are optional but add a tangy depth of flavor.
  • Make sure to cook on low heat when covered to avoid burning the bottom before the center sets.
  • If goat cheese is unavailable, feta or ricotta can be good substitutes.
  • This frittata is best served warm but can be enjoyed at room temperature.
