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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
