Print Recipe

A quick and easy crustless veggie frittata packed with tender spinach, tangy feta, and fluffy eggs. Perfect for any meal, this nourishing dish is simple to make and full of flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, packed and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 small yellow or white onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%; can substitute almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  4. Add chopped spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and excess moisture evaporates, about 4-5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  6. Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle crumbled feta evenly over the spinach mixture. Pour the egg mixture over everything, tilting the pan to distribute evenly.
  7. Return skillet to low heat and cook gently for 3-5 minutes until edges start to set but center remains wobbly.
  8. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until frittata is puffed, golden on top, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better fluffiness. Cook spinach thoroughly to remove excess moisture to avoid a watery frittata. If edges brown too fast, cover skillet loosely with foil halfway through baking. Adding a tablespoon of grated Parmesan can help bind moisture if eggs seem watery. The stovetop setting step before baking prevents a rubbery bottom and creates a nice crust.
