Equipment
- oven-safe non-stick skillet
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup egg whites
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup red onion finely chopped
- 3 medium scallions chopped, plus more for topping
- 1 1/2 cups fresh chopped spinach
- 2 ounces crumbled feta plus optional more for topping
- 2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano grated
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- diced grape or cherry tomatoes optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. This is crucial as we want the frittata to bake perfectly once it’s on the move.
- In a 9-inch or 10-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Watch as it shimmers, signaling it’s ready for the next step.
- Add the finely chopped red onion and scallions to the skillet. Cook until they become soft and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the onions and scallions are cooking, crack the eggs and egg whites into a medium bowl. Beat them together until well mixed and slightly frothy.
- Next, add the kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, feta, and Parmigiano-Reggiano to the mix. Stir in the sautéed onions and fresh spinach, making sure everything is well incorporated.
- Pour this mixture into the skillet with the sautéed onions and scallions. Allow it to cook on the stovetop until the bottom begins to set, about 4 to 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as this is where the magic begins!
- Once the bottom sets, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden on top. The aroma will be irresistible!
- After baking, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let it cool for a minute, then transfer the frittata to a plate. Cut it into 4 wedges for serving.
- For a finishing touch, serve the frittata topped with diced tomatoes and extra scallions if desired. Enjoy every delicious bite!
