Ingredients

• Vegetables
  • 2 cups (60 g) fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) sun-dried tomatoes, julienned (packed in oil, drained)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
• Dairy & Eggs
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
• Spices & Seasonings
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a medium ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

3. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 more minute.

4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in feta and Parmesan.

5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir once to combine, then cook on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes until the edges start to set.

6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is slightly golden.

7. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To maintain the perfect fluffy texture, ensure you cook the eggs gently and avoid overbaking. Use an ovenproof skillet for seamless transfer between stovetop and oven, allowing even cooking without extra pans.

Substitute fresh spinach with thawed frozen spinach if fresh is unavailable—just be sure to drain well to avoid excess moisture. For a dairy-free alternative, replace feta with plant-based cheese and omit Parmesan. Adjust salt according to your cheese choice.
