The onions should be firm, and the potatoes should be smooth. Spinach adds color and nutrition, while feta gives a nice tang. I always use large eggs for the best texture. The olive oil adds richness and helps with cooking. Salt and pepper bring out the flavors, while thyme adds a warm note. Fresh parsley is a lovely touch for garnishing. You can check out the Full Recipe for more details. - Skillet (oven-safe) - Medium pan - Whisk and mixing bowl - Measuring cups and spoons For tools, choose a skillet that can go into the oven. A medium pan works well for cooking the potatoes and onions. A whisk and mixing bowl are essential for your egg mixture. Measuring cups and spoons help keep your ingredients precise. To start, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Next, add the diced potatoes. Make sure to season them with salt. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want them tender and golden. Once done, remove them from the pan and set them aside. In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and the thinly sliced onions. Cook them over medium-low heat. Stir the onions often, as this helps them caramelize. This process takes about 15-20 minutes. You want them soft and sweet. Add dried thyme, salt, and pepper for extra flavor. In a large bowl, whisk together the four large eggs. Season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Then, stir in the chopped spinach, cooked potatoes, and caramelized onions. Mix everything well until it is combined. Now, pour the egg mixture back into the skillet over medium heat. Cook it for 5-7 minutes without stirring. You will see the edges start to set. When the bottom is firm but the top is still a bit runny, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top. Preheat the oven to broil. Place the skillet in the oven. Broil for 3-5 minutes until the top is set and lightly golden. Keep a close eye to prevent burning. You can find the Full Recipe for more details. To achieve golden, sweet onions, start with medium-low heat. This low heat helps onions cook slowly. Stir them often to avoid burning. The process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. If you rush, you may end up with bitter onions. Add a sprinkle of salt early on. This helps draw out moisture, making them sweeter. To avoid a watery frittata, make sure your vegetables are not too wet. After cooking the spinach, drain any excess liquid. When mixing eggs, whisk them well for a fluffy texture. If you like texture, consider adding cooked bacon or chopped bell peppers. These additions can enhance both flavor and mouthfeel. Garnishing can make your frittata look stunning. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives add a pop of color. For a fancy touch, serve it on a wooden board or a colorful plate. If you want to impress, slice the frittata into wedges. Arrange them neatly, and sprinkle herbs on top. This simple step makes a big difference in presentation. {{image_2}} You can make your frittata even more fun. Try adding bell peppers or mushrooms. They bring great flavor and color. You can also mix in some zucchini or broccoli for extra nutrition. Cheese is another easy swap. Instead of feta, use goat cheese for a tangy bite. Cheddar cheese gives a rich and creamy taste. Want to make it vegetarian? It’s already a great choice! Just keep out any meat. If you need it gluten-free, check that your ingredients are safe.

Place the frittata in an oven-safe dish covered with foil. Heat for about 15 minutes. If you use the microwave, heat on low power. This helps keep the frittata fluffy. Heat in short bursts, checking often to avoid overcooking. To freeze, cut the frittata into wedges. Wrap each wedge in plastic wrap. Place these in a freezer-safe bag or container.

The center may feel a bit soft but not runny. When the top looks slightly puffed and the cheese is melted, it is ready. A good test is to gently shake the pan. If the frittata jiggles slightly, it needs more time. If it holds its shape, it's done. Yes, you can make this frittata ahead of time. It works well as a meal prep option.

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes: In a medium pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender and golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.

    Caramelize the Onions: In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and sliced onions. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring regularly until the onions become soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in the dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

      Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped spinach, cooked potatoes, and caramelized onions. Mix well to combine.

        Cook the Frittata: Pour the egg mixture back into the skillet over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, without stirring, until the edges start to set. When the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.

          Finish in the Oven: Preheat the oven to broil. Place the skillet in the oven (make sure it is oven-safe) and broil for 3-5 minutes until the top is set and lightly golden. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

            Serve: Once done, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
