Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 5 ounces fresh spinach
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk or cream until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts completely, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the spinach and shallots in the skillet.
- Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the top of the eggs.
- Cook the frittata on the stovetop for 3 to 5 minutes, until the edges start to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the skillet for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This is a great cast iron skillet breakfast or simple egg dinner.
Notes
- This frittata tastes excellent cold, making it a perfect make ahead frittata for lunches during your busy spring week.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
- If you do not have a cast iron skillet, you can transfer the mixture to an 8-inch oven-safe pie dish after cooking the base on the stovetop.
