Today, we’re diving into the world of Italian dishes, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this!. No more boring, plain eggs and bland fillings!

Imagine a world where you can add whatever meat, vegetables, or cheese you have on hand to create a delicious, easy-to-eat meal. Sounds like a dream come true, right? That’s exactly what you get with this amazing frittata recipe!
Frittatas are an Italian dish consisting of cooked eggs with other ingredients added in like meat, vegetables, or cheese. Unlike omelets and scrambled eggs, frittatas are not moved or folded over as they’re cooked. The frittata is cooked whole, without disturbing, in one large piece.

So, how do you make this culinary masterpiece? It’s quite simple, really. First, preheat your oven to 350°F. While that’s heating up, whisk together six large eggs, ¼ cup milk, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper in a large bowl. Set the eggs aside for now.
Next, sauté your meat or vegetables in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Because the frittata cooks quickly, you can leave some vegetables fresh instead of sautéing, if desired. For this frittata, we sautéed one yellow onion in 2 Tbsp cooking oil and added the rest of the vegetables fresh.

When using fresh spinach, it’s best to roughly chop it into smaller, bite-sized pieces to avoid large, stringy pieces of spinach in your frittata. We used 2 cups of packed spinach (about 4 oz.) for this frittata and one pint of grape tomatoes (sliced in half).
Add the chopped spinach and tomatoes to the skillet with the onions and stir briefly to combine. Before the spinach has a chance to cook or wilt, pour in the egg mixture. It’s okay if the eggs don’t fully cover the vegetables. Top with the crumbled feta or cheese of choice.

Continue to cook the frittata over medium heat just until the eggs begin setting around the edges (this only takes a few minutes). Transfer the frittata to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or just until the center is set.
The total cooking time will vary slightly depending on the type of skillet used and how much the eggs had set while on the stovetop. It’s okay if the eggs still jiggle a little in the center; they will continue to cook through residual heat for a few minutes after it is removed from the oven. Avoid overcooking the frittata.

Remove the frittata from the oven and let rest for five minutes before slicing into six pieces and serving! This frittata is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or anytime you need something delicious and easy to eat.
Frittatas can be served either warm or cold, which makes them even more flexible. Bake one up on Sunday, then pack up the leftover slices for tomorrow’s lunch! The flavor possibilities for frittatas are endless!
