Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together until smooth. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using. Set the mixture aside.
Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted.
Spread the spinach evenly across the skillet and pour the egg mixture over the top. Use a spatula to gently distribute the eggs evenly across the skillet, ensuring the spinach is fully covered.
Cook the frittata on the stovetop for 3-5 minutes over medium heat until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set in the middle and lightly golden on top.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
