👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a medium-sized oven-safe nonstick skillet, or a 20 cm (8-inch) round baking dish greased with olive oil.
- 2 In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with the milk, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
- 3 Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- 4 Add the red and yellow bell peppers, and sauté for 3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
- 5 Add the chopped spinach and stir quickly until wilted, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat briefly.
- 6 Spread the vegetables evenly across the bottom of the skillet, then pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire surface.
- 7 Arrange the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the egg mixture. Sprinkle with dried oregano.
- 8 Cook on the stovetop over low heat for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set.
- 9 Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the center of the frittata is fully cooked and slightly puffed, no longer wet when pierced.
- 10 While waiting for the frittata to finish baking, mix the thick yogurt with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and set aside as the accompanying sauce.
- 11 Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- 12 Serve the frittata warm with the olive yogurt on the side, topped with sliced black olives and chopped mint or parsley. Serve with toasted whole wheat bread.
💡 Tips
• Make sure the skillet you use is truly oven-safe (handle not made of plastic) so the baking process goes smoothly.
• Don't overcook on the stovetop before baking — just enough for the edges to set so the center stays soft after baking.
• Use a really thick Greek yogurt so the texture stays creamy and doesn't turn runny when mixed with olive oil and lemon.
• This frittata is delicious served warm or at room temperature, so it's also great made a day ahead for a convenient breakfast to go.
