Spinach and Zucchini Frittata Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs

• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

• 1 medium zucchini, diced

• 1/2 small onion, chopped (optional)

• 1/2 cup low-fat milk or cream (optional)

• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as mozzarella or feta) (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) for garnish (optional)

•  

 

Instructions:​

• Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Prepare the Vegetables:

• In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

• Add the chopped onion (if using) and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

• Add the diced zucchini and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until it becomes tender.

• Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

• Prepare the Egg Mixture:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (if using) until well combined. You can also add a little salt and pepper to taste.

• Combine:

• Add the sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture and stir to combine. If you’re using cheese, add it in at this stage.

• Cook on Stovetop:

• In the same skillet (if oven-safe), pour the vegetable-egg mixture back into the skillet and cook on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes without stirring, until the edges start to set.

• Bake:

• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (if your skillet is not oven-safe, pour the mixture into a greased baking dish).

• Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the frittata is puffed and the center is set (a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean).

• Cool and Serve:

• Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges.

• Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• Feel free to substitute or add other soft vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or tomatoes based on your preferences.

• You can also use different types of cheese or omit it entirely for a lighter version.

• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated, making it a great meal prep option!
