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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, dill, basil, and shredded chicken until fully combined.
- 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.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the spinach wilts.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded gruyere and crumbled feta over the top.
- Let the frittata cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes to begin setting the edges.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the center is firm.
- 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.
