Fresh Apple & Herb Frittata
ThemedBreakfastItalianFrittataBrunch
Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 large crisp apple, thinly sliced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 4 oz crumbled goat cheese
- 3 tbsp fresh chives, snipped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 375°F. Crack the eggs into a large bowl, add the milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and whisk until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
- 2Stir the snipped chives and chopped parsley into the egg mixture so the herbs are evenly distributed.
- 3Heat the olive oil and butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat until the butter foams and the pan is hot.
- 4Add the thinly sliced apple in a single layer and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until the slices soften and take on light golden edges.
- 5Scatter the baby spinach over the apples and cook just until the leaves wilt, about 1 minute, stirring gently.
- 6Pour the egg mixture evenly over the apples and spinach. Let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds so the bottom begins to set.
- 7Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese across the surface, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
- 8Bake for 16 to 18 minutes until the center is just set, the edges are puffed, and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- 9Remove the skillet carefully (handle will be hot) and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes so it firms up for cleaner slices.
- 10Run a spatula the edge, cut into six wedges, and serve warm with an extra grind of black pepper and a few fresh herb leaves on top.
