Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan-assisted ovens). Peel and finely chop the red onion and garlic. Wash and dry the spinach.

Sauté Vegetables

In an oven-safe skillet (approx. 24 cm diameter) over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped red onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the 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 or cream. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in half of the crumbled goat cheese.

Cook and Bake

Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and vegetables in the skillet. Distribute evenly, then sprinkle with the remaining goat cheese. Cook on the stovetop over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the bottom is set but the top is still a bit runny. Then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is golden brown and fully set.

Serving

Remove the frittata from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Extra Tips

► Sprinkle fresh chives or parsley on top of the frittata before serving for an extra burst of flavor.

► If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute it with feta cheese or a creamier ricotta.

► Frittata is excellent for using up leftovers; feel free to add chopped roasted vegetables or cooked potatoes.
