Potato cubes make this spinach and feta frittata substantial enough for breakfast or a simple supper. Starting on the stove and finishing in the oven sets the eggs evenly without burning the base.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 300 g potatoes, diced small
- 150 g baby spinach
- 100 g crumbled feta
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 60 ml milk
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Method
- Heat oven to 190°C / 375°F. Simmer 1 cm potato cubes in water for 7–9 minutes until just tender, then drain.
- Heat oil in a 23 cm ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook onion 5 minutes until soft, then add drained potatoes and cook 3 minutes.
- Add spinach and stir until wilted and excess moisture has evaporated. Spread the vegetables evenly across the skillet.
- Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper just until combined. Pour over the vegetables and scatter feta evenly on top.
- Cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes, then transfer to the oven for 12–16 minutes until the center is set and reaches 71°C / 160°F.
- Rest 5 minutes before cutting into four wedges. The center should be tender, with no liquid egg; protect the hot skillet handle.
- Refrigerate cooled leftovers within two hours for up to three days. Reheat until hot throughout.
Use small potato cubes
Pieces around 1 cm cook quickly and spread evenly through each wedge. Drain them well before adding to the skillet.
Cook off the spinach moisture
Wet spinach can leave pockets of liquid in the eggs. Let any released water evaporate before pouring in the egg mixture.
Stop when the center sets
Eggs continue to firm slightly after leaving the oven. Check the center and avoid baking until the entire surface is hard and dry.
