HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

02

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

03

Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove any excess liquid from the spinach.

04

Pour the egg mixture over the spinach in the skillet. Gently dollop the ricotta cheese evenly over the egg mixture.

05

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

06

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown on top.

07

Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Chef's Tips

For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture. You can also sauté a clove of minced garlic with the spinach for added aroma.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Feta cheese can be used instead of Parmesan for a tangier flavor. Kale or Swiss chard can replace spinach, just ensure they are thoroughly wilted and excess moisture is removed. For a dairy-free option, use plant-based milk and ricotta alternatives.
