Spinach Feta Frittata — Protein-Packed & Healthy Breakfast Delight

A Fresh and Wholesome Start to Your Day

If you’re looking for a healthy breakfast that’s quick, delicious, and full of goodness, this Spinach Feta Frittata is about to become your new favorite. 🥚🌿 I love this dish because it’s simple enough for busy mornings but elegant enough to serve when you’re hosting brunch. It’s light, fluffy, and bursting with flavor from the salty feta, tender spinach, and perfectly cooked eggs. Every bite feels like sunshine — warm, comforting, and energizing!

What’s even better is how easy it is to make. You can whip it up with minimal ingredients, no special equipment, and it cooks up beautifully in just one pan. Whether you enjoy it warm right out of the oven or chilled later in the day, it’s the kind of meal that never disappoints.

Nutritional Benefits

This frittata isn’t just tasty — it’s packed with nutrients your body will thank you for. The eggs provide high-quality protein and essential vitamins like B12 and D, while spinach delivers iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. Feta adds calcium and a rich, tangy flavor without being too heavy. Together, they create a balanced, energizing meal that keeps you full and focused throughout your morning. If you’re watching your carbs or eating keto, this recipe fits right in perfectly.

Delicious Variations You Can Try

  • Make it Greek-style: Add chopped tomatoes, red onion, and a sprinkle of oregano for a Mediterranean twist.
  • Boost the protein: Toss in cooked turkey, smoked salmon, or leftover chicken breast for an extra boost.
  • Go dairy-free: Skip the feta and add nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavor without dairy.
  • Try other greens: You can easily substitute spinach with kale, arugula, or Swiss chard — they all work beautifully!

Spinach Feta Frittata Recipe

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (or cream for a richer texture)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or fresh herbs (like dill or parsley)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until light and frothy. Stir in the feta cheese and any optional ingredients like cherry tomatoes or herbs.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach and gently stir to combine everything evenly.
  6. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and slightly golden on top.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the Perfect Frittata

  • Use a nonstick or cast-iron skillet: This helps the frittata cook evenly and release easily after baking.
  • Whisk those eggs well: The more air you whisk in, the fluffier your frittata will be!
  • Don’t overbake: Pull it out as soon as the center is just set — it’ll keep cooking slightly from the residual heat.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It reheats beautifully in a microwave or can be enjoyed cold.
