Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion or shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves

Dairy & Eggs

  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled

Oils & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley), optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Finely chop the red bell pepper and onion. Sauté them in olive oil over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, being careful not to overcook.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt and pepper until uniform and slightly frothy to create a light texture.
  3. Combine and Add Goat Cheese: Pour the cooked vegetables into the egg mixture and gently fold in the crumbled goat cheese, distributing it evenly to create creamy pockets.
  4. Cook the Frittata: Preheat an oven-safe skillet on medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the pan and cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until the edges begin to set.
  5. Finish in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top. Remove carefully and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables and goat cheese for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Wilt spinach just enough to avoid excess moisture which can make the frittata soggy.
  • Mix ingredients gently but thoroughly to ensure balanced flavors in every slice.
  • Use an oven-safe non-stick or cast-iron skillet for even cooking and easy removal.
  • Let the frittata rest a few minutes post-baking for cleaner slicing.
