  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the diced pumpkin with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the salt, and half the black pepper.

  4. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

  6. Add the sliced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  7. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  12. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.
  13. Sprinkle the remaining feta and Parmesan cheese, if using, over the top.
  14. Cook on the stovetop for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
  15. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  16. Allow the frittata to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  17. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Substitute butternut squash or sweet potatoes for the pumpkin.
  • Add cooked bacon, ham, turkey, or sausage for extra protein.
  • Use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture.
  • Add mushrooms, kale, bell peppers, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze individual slices for up to 2 months and thaw before reheating.
