Ingredients- 100g fresh spinach
- 4 slices of thick-cut bacon
- 1/2 medium onion
- 5 cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic
- 15g butter (unsalted or salted)
- 50ml milk
- 3 large eggs
- 50g shredded cheese (mozzarella works well too)
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Thoroughly wash the spinach under running water and gently pat it dry to remove excess moisture. The type of butter (salted or unsalted) is not critical for this recipe.
Step 2
Chop the fresh spinach into roughly three manageable pieces. Cutting it into slightly larger pieces will retain a better texture in the final frittata.
Step 3
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Slicing the onion thinly will help it cook down beautifully, releasing its sweetness and becoming tender.
Step 4
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly into slivers. The garlic will add a wonderful aromatic depth to the frittata.
Step 5
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. These will be placed on top for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, crack the 3 large eggs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk them together until well combined. This step helps to tenderize the eggs and season them lightly.
Step 7
Pour the 50ml of milk into the whisked eggs and mix gently until incorporated. The milk contributes to a creamier texture.
Step 8
Cut the bacon slices into bite-sized pieces, about 1-2 cm wide. Having all your ingredients prepped and ready makes the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 9
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the 15g of butter. Allow it to melt slowly, coating the bottom of the pan. Be careful not to let the butter burn.
Step 10
Once the butter is melted and fragrant, add the sliced garlic and onions to the pan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and soften, about 5-7 minutes. Avoid high heat to prevent burning.
Step 11
When the onions are translucent, add the chopped bacon to the skillet. Continue to sauté until the bacon is lightly browned and rendered its fat.
Step 12
As the bacon starts to crisp, add the chopped spinach to the pan. Sauté just until the spinach wilts down, which should only take a minute or two. Overcooking the spinach will make it mushy.
Step 13
Spread the cooked vegetables evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Then, slowly and evenly pour the whisked egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it fills the gaps.
Step 14
Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes decoratively on top of the egg mixture. They add a lovely pop of color and acidity.
Step 15
Generously sprinkle the 50g of shredded cheese evenly over the entire frittata. This will create a delicious, cheesy topping.
Step 16
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keeping the heat low is crucial to prevent the bottom from burning while allowing the top to cook through.
Step 17
Once the frittata is fully cooked and the cheese is perfectly melted, your delicious Spinach Frittata is ready! Serve immediately while warm. For an extra touch, you can garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
