Ingredients
6 large eggs
2 cups fresh leafy greens (such as spinach, kale, or Swiss chard)
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup optional cheese (e.g., feta, goat cheese, cheddar)
Optional herbs and seasonings (e.g., parsley, dill, basil)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.
Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened, about 3–5 minutes.
Add the leafy greens and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, cheese (if using), and herbs.
Pour the egg mixture over the greens in the skillet and gently stir to distribute evenly.
Cook on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden.
Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use any leafy greens you have on hand—spinach, kale, or Swiss chard all work well.
Omit the cheese or use dairy-free cheese for a dairy-free version.
Great for meal prep—store in the fridge or freezer for later meals.
Add other veggies or protein like mushrooms, peppers, or cooked sausage for variety.
