Eggs are a fantastic ingredient to have around. They are high in protein and super healthy, and the range of dishes you can make with eggs seems to be endless. A perfect example of this is in the form of frittata, which is like a quiche without the crust. This recipe uses tomatoes, olives, and spinach for a deliciously savory and fresh combination of flavors.
Ingredients (to Serve 4):
- 6 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup pitted black olives
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- ½ tablespoon dried oregano
- ½ tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Butter, for greasing
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 340℉.
- Quarter the cherry tomatoes and halve the olives.
- Crack the eggs into a jug and whisk until smooth.
- Pour in the milk, add the oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper, and stir well.
- Grease an oven dish with a little butter.
- Transfer the egg mixture to the oven dish. Add the tomatoes, olives, and spinach and stir until evenly spread.
- Place into the oven for 20 minutes.
- Check if the frittata is cooked by giving it a shake to see if the middle is set or not – if it wobbles then pop it back in the oven for another 5 minutes.
- Leave to stand for 5-10 minutes before slicing up to serve.
