Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cups fresh spinach or other leafy greens
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 4 ounces goat cheese (crumbled)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a 10-12 inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and foam but not brown.
Add the spinach (or other leafy greens) to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir the chopped parsley, chives, and dill into the wilted greens in the skillet, spreading them evenly across the surface.
Pour the egg mixture over the greens and gently tilt the skillet to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the top, ensuring even coverage.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden, and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
