  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk or cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan with olive oil.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  • Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
    Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 1–2 minutes. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional minute.

Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4: Combine and Cook

  • Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
    Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and sliced Kalamata olives evenly over the top.

Step 5: Bake the Frittata

  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is just set.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  • Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh basil and parsley before slicing.
    Serve warm with your favorite sides.
