Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, ricotta cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring frequently until it wilts down and releases any water, about 2-3 minutes. Remove excess liquid by carefully pressing the spinach with a spatula if needed.
Spread the cooked spinach evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach, ensuring it evenly coats the surface.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the egg mixture.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and slightly golden on top.
Remove the frittata from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Spinach Ricotta Frittata!
