Description

This Chicken Frittata with Spinach is a simple, healthy, and satisfying breakfast or brunch dish. Packed with protein, fresh herbs, and flavorful cheeses, it’s the perfect way to start your day or serve a crowd.


Ingredients

12 large eggs

½ cup whole milk

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill

2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil

1 cup cooked and shredded chicken

3 tablespoons salted butter

½ small red onion, finely diced

3 cups spinach

1 cup shredded gruyere cheese

½ cup crumbled feta

Green onion, to garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, dill, basil, and shredded chicken until fully combined.
  3. Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once melted, add the red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  4. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the spinach wilts.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded gruyere and crumbled feta over the top.
  6. Let the frittata cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes to begin setting the edges.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the center is firm.
  8. Allow the frittata to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.

Notes

  • This frittata can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Feel free to swap the cheeses for cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese to suit your taste.
  • If you prefer a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños to the mix.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add more vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini.
