Spinach Frittata with Feta
The recipe originated from a "happy accident" when leftover spanakopita filling was combined with eggs and baked in a cast iron skillet, creating this quick frittata alternative that captures the flavors of traditional Greek spanakopita phyllo pie without the pastry hassle.
Ingredients
- 8 pc eggs
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp baking powder (optional)
- Kosher salt
- 170 g frozen chopped spinach (thawed; water wrung out)
- 1 small yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 40 g parsley leaves (chopped)
- 30 g mint leaves (chopped)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 85-120g feta cheese (crumbled)
- 60 ml whole milk
- Extra virgin olive oil (for coating pan)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 190°C.
Whisk eggs with oregano, dill, pepper, paprika, and baking powder; season with salt.
Add spinach, onion, parsley, mint, garlic, feta, and milk; mix well.
Heat olive oil in 30cm cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Pour egg mixture into skillet; cook 4 minutes to settle the bottom.
