Ingredients:
For the frittata:
– 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 8 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– Salt and pepper to taste
For garnish:
– Chopped fresh parsley
– Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the potatoes:
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
3. Sauté the aromatics:
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
4. Wilt the spinach:
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted and any excess moisture has evaporated.
5. Whisk the egg mixture:
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
6. Combine and cook:
Pour the egg mixture over the potato and spinach mixture in the skillet. Use a spatula to gently stir and combine the ingredients, ensuring everything is evenly distributed. Cook on the stovetop for about 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to set.
7. Bake the frittata:
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
8. Cool and serve:
Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy your Hearty Potato and Spinach Frittata with a side salad or some crusty bread for a complete and delicious meal!
