Spinach Frittata with Zucchini
Description
This frittata begins by sautéing baby spinach and thinly sliced zucchini in avocado oil until wilted and softened, seasoned with sea salt. Sun-dried tomatoes join to add concentrated tomato flavor and a touch of acidity. Separately, eggs are beaten with buttermilk, grated cheddar cheese, and salt to form a rich custard base.
The egg mixture is poured over the vegetables in the skillet and evenly spread. Soft goat cheese is scattered on top to add tangy creaminess that melts during baking. The skillet transfers to a 350°F oven to bake until the egg is just set and slightly golden, yielding a light yet substantial texture with vegetable freshness mixed with cheese savory bursts.
After baking, the frittata rests briefly to firm up before slicing. It works well as a brunch centerpiece, brunch buffet item, or simple dinner paired with bread or salad.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp avocado oil
- 4 cups baby spinach loosely packed
- 1 zucchini thinly sliced, medium
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained
- 12 egg large
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 1/4 tsp salt sea salt
- 1/3 cup soft goat cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the oil, spinach, and sliced zucchini to a 10-inch cast iron skillet and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally until spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and a sprinkle of sea salt. Continue cooking, uncovered, until zucchini has softened.
- Beat the eggs and buttermilk, cheddar cheese, and sea salt in a mixing bowl. I do so with a fork, but you can also use a hand mixer or whisk.
- Pour the egg mixture into the cast iron skillet over the vegetable mixture and use a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula to distribute the vegetables evenly. Sprinkle on the goat cheese.
- Transfer the cast iron skillet to the oven and bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the frittata has set up. Allow frittata to cool at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
