What is a Frittata?
A frittata is a creamy Italian egg dish that is similar to an omelette, however it is not folded in half. It is basically a crustless quiche, which makes it perfect for anyone following a gluten free or low carb diet!
What you will need:
- 8 Eggs
- ⅓ cup Whole Milk
- 1 Onion
- 3 Garlic Cloves
- 1 cup Spinach
- 1 cup Tomatoes
- 1 cup Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
- ¼ ground Cayenne Pepper (optional)
- a 10-12" Cast Iron or a Nonstick, Oven-safe Skillet
How to Make a Frittata
First, whisk the eggs until well combined. Mix in the milk and spices, and set aside.
Next, heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat and saute the onion for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Add the spinach, tomato, and garlic and cook for 2 minutes, or until the spinach wilts and you can smell the garlic!
Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the vegetables and let sit until slightly melted. I grated some pecorino Romano cheese, but you could use parmesan or mozzarella too!
Add the egg mixture and tilt the pan as needed to ensure that it is evenly distributed, covering all of the vegetables.
Place into a 350 degree oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until it has set in the middle and the edges are golden brown. Broil for 1-2 minutes until browned on the top (optional). Remove carefully from the oven and let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Perfection!

Perfect for our brunch
This was our first time making a frittata and this recipe was easy to make but the best part it has so much flavor. Even my fussy husband raved about this recipe. Absolutely delicious!
That’s great to hear, Kim! Thanks so much for sharing!! 😊❤️
Can this be made an hour or two ahead of time and then baked when time for brunch?
Yes! Cover with foil and reheat in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Added bacon to mine, sometimes we don’t have Everything a recipe calls for, but NEVER let that keep you from experimenting with cooking.
Couldn't agree with you more, Angela!
This was really good and simple to follow! Only had feta cheese and used that and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed, Lauren!
