Ingredients

▢ 4 large eggs
▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil
▢ 1/4 yellow onion, peeled and small diced
▢ 1 packed cup baby spinach leaves or other tender greens
▢ 1/4 heaping cup grated Comté or Gruyère cheese (fresh crumbled goat cheese or grated sharp cheddar are also good options)
▢ Kosher salt and fresh-ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Whisk the eggs and a generous pinch of salt and fresh-ground black pepper in a bowl and set aside. (I use a rounded 1/8 teaspoon of Kosher salt.)
Heat the olive oil in a 7" or 8" skillet over medium-low heat. Add the diced onions and cook until translucent, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
Add the spinach and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until wilted. Spread the spinach and onions evenly over the surface of the skillet.
Add the whisked eggs. Sprinkle the cheese over the surface. Let the eggs cook for a minute on the stove without stirring. If the vegetables shifted when you added the eggs, nudge them around so they are evenly spaced again.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for about 6 minutes, give or take (check it starting at around 4 minutes), until the center has set and the top looks dry.
TIP: I cannot tell you how many times I have accidentally grabbed the hot skillet handle directly from the oven; I think it's because I am so used to unconsciously holding pot handles. Remember that the handle is hot and use an oven mitt or potholder!
Remove the frittata from the oven. Cut it into wedges and serve, perhaps with a little salad or bread.
PRO TIP: Like quiche, frittata tastes very good at room temperature. No need to worry about serving it piping hot.
