Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, torn

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper

Cheeses

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F to prepare for baking the frittata.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper; stir and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions become tender and caramelized.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until fully blended. Add heavy cream, kosher salt, and black pepper, then whisk again until smooth and thoroughly combined.
  4. Add Spinach: Remove the skillet from heat and immediately stir in the torn spinach into the cooked vegetables so it begins to wilt slightly from the residual heat.
  5. Layer Vegetables and Cheese: Spread the vegetable mixture evenly in the skillet’s bottom, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese uniformly over the vegetables.
  6. Combine Egg Mixture with Vegetables: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and mozzarella. Gently stir with a fork as needed to distribute the vegetables evenly throughout the egg mixture.
  7. Add Goat Cheese: Evenly crumble the goat cheese on top of the egg and vegetable mixture in the skillet.
  8. Bake: Place the skillet on a baking sheet and transfer it into the preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes until the frittata is set and has a golden brown top and edges.
  9. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the frittata. Let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe skillet to ensure it can be transferred directly from stovetop to oven.
  • Letting the frittata rest before serving helps it set fully for cleaner slices.
  • For added flavor, you can sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving.
  • If dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and goat cheese with a plant-based alternative.
