Herb & Spinach Frittata
Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Servings: 3–4
Ingredients
-
6 to 8 large eggs
-
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
-
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
-
1/2 cup raw almonds, coarsely chopped (for a quick toast)
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
1/4 cup milk or water (optional, makes it fluffier)
-
Salt and fresh black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Toast the Almonds: Heat a dry, oven-safe skillet (like cast iron or an oven-safe Dutch oven) over medium heat. Add the chopped almonds and toast for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
-
Whisk the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk/water (if using), chopped rosemary, half of the toasted almonds, salt, and pepper until well combined.
-
Sauté the Spinach: Return the skillet to medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until just wilted. Distribute the spinach evenly across the bottom of the pan.
-
Cook the Base: Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the spinach. Cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes until the edges are set and cooked through, but the top is still slightly runny.
-
Broil to Finish: Turn your oven broiler on HIGH. Move the skillet to the top rack of the oven and broil for 2 to 4 minutes, watching closely, until the top is puffed, golden brown, and completely set.
-
Garnish & Serve: Top with the remaining toasted almonds and a light sprinkle of fresh rosemary. Slice into wedges and serve warm with a warm cup of green tea on the side.
