ingredients
Steps
Prep and Sauté
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a medium oven-safe skillet (about 20-22 cm or 8-9 inches in diameter), heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the spinach base in the skillet.
Cook and Serve
Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set. Then, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and transfer the skillet to the hot oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Extra Tips
► Don't overcook the spinach; just wilt it slightly to retain its freshness and nutrients.
► Experiment with other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to make your frittata even more varied.
► Serve with a fresh salad or toast for a complete and satisfying meal.
