For the best souffle-like eggs, combine lightly sauteed spinach, feta cheese, eggs, and one secret ingredient (more on that later!) on the stovetop. Bake to perfection. Just fantastic

Ingredients for spinach frittata with feta:

I am a huge proponent of using organic ingredients wherever possible because I know it helps me do my part in protecting the environment and enables dedicated farmers to keep doing what they do best—providing us with the highest-quality goods. good

I used organic baby spinach for this spinach and feta cheese frittata recipe (I love the prewashed and packaged variety for the convenience), Horizon Organic eggs, organic feta cheese, and Horizon® Organic Grassfed Whole Milk, which is the secret ingredient that elevates this spinach frittata recipe to the next level.

I adore Horizon Organic Grassfed Whole Milk not only for its fantastic, delightfully creamy taste but also because it comes from humanely raised, happy cows who are allowed to roam freely on lush pastures for 150 days out of the year in accordance with organic regulations.

Why use whole milk in a frittata recipe:

Organic whole milk is one of my go-to components for the greatest spinach and egg frittata. Because adding a small amount of milk guarantees that the eggs stay soft by keeping them from overcooking and resulting in a fluffy and moist final product.

My go-to ratio for eggs to milk for frittata recipe is 12 large eggs to ½ cup of whole milk.

Did you know? Not all goods made from grass are certified. Your family now get Certified Grassfed Organic Milk from Horizon Organic Grassfed Milk thanks to a partnership with the American Grassfed Association.

As an animal lover, I don’t know about you, but I value Horizon Organic Grassfed Milk for upholding this quality and treating their cows humanely. I therefore like grass-fed milk that comes from contented and healthy cows.

How to make egg frittata

The process of making this frittata recipe has three parts. 

First, you prepare the eggs. Add 12 cup of Horizon Organic Grassfed Whole Milk and 12 large eggs to a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. After giving it a thorough whisk, leave it aside. Set the oven’s temperature to 350 F.

Second, prepare the spinach and feta filling. To achieve this, warm one tablespoon of oil in a 12-inch oven-safe, non-stick skillet. 5 cups of baby spinach and 5 tablespoons of minced garlic should also be added.

You might believe that 5 cups of baby spinach is a lot when you look at the amount of raw spinach. But if you’ve ever cooked spinach, you presumably already know that it drastically shrinks in size and loses a lot of volume when cooked. Therefore, the quantity of spinach used in the recipe below should not worry you.

Don’t have fresh spinach on hand? Simply replace six ounces of fresh spinach with frozen spinach. Before using it in this frittata recipe, be sure to drain the frozen food (removing as much liquid as you can) and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator.

When the baby spinach is finished cooking, stir in the crumbled feta cheese and distribute it evenly. After that, add the egg-milk mixture.

Your skillet is now quite hot, and eggs will start cooking right away. Move the eggs around for even cooking and scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent quick cooking, which could result in tough eggs, until large curds form. This takes place over the course of 30 to 45 seconds.

How long to bake a frittata at 350 degrees F

Finally, to complete it, bake the skillet for 8 to 9 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

How do I know when my frittata is cooked

When the edges are golden brown and the middle is no longer wobbly, your baked spinach and feta frittata is done. After cooking is complete, carefully move the feta spinach frittata to a cutting board to cool before serving.

What to serve with frittata

Your feta spinach frittata recipe can be served alongside a straightforward green salad, which is what I normally do. But since there are so many fresh summer tomatoes available right now, I quickly produced a tomato salad that I also used as a topping.

I diced up some cherry tomatoes and combined them with 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make my quick tomato salad. I finished by sprinkling on some fresh parsley from Italy.

Variations for this baked spinach and frittata recipe:

Even though I think spinach and feta are a fantastic pairing, I enjoy varying things up occasionally. Here are a couple past iterations of this dish that I’ve cooked. I’m giving them to you so you can experiment with the supplies you already have:

Sausage Spinach Feta Frittata: Sometimes, if I’m making this frittata for dinner, I’ll add a half-pound of Italian sausage. My meat-eating husband claims that this variation is his favourite.

If you choose to use sausage, heat one tablespoon of oil in a medium skillet and sauté the meat, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, until it is browned, about five minutes. The remainder of the recipe should then be added, along with the vegetables and egg combination.

Mediterranean Frittata: A few Mediterranean ingredients can be added to the recipe if you want to stick with the vegetarian concept. Just before baking it in the oven, I like to stir in a small red bell pepper and some chopped Kalamata olives to the egg mixture.

Spinach Tomato and Feta Frittata If tomatoes are in season, you can also cook an egg with a diced tomato added to the vegetable mixture. Summer tomatoes fried with eggs have the most incredible sweet flavours.
