Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Vegetables & Seasonings

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced red onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces fingerling potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red pepper, diced
  • 1 scallion, sliced
  • 1 cup baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready when your frittata mixture is prepared.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, and 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Heat 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup diced red onions and minced garlic from 2 cloves, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  4. Cook Potatoes: Add thinly sliced 8 ounces fingerling potatoes to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
  5. Add Peppers and Greens: Stir in 1 diced medium red pepper and cook another 2-3 minutes. Then add 1 cup baby spinach and 1 sliced scallion, cooking until the spinach wilts and reduces in volume.
  6. Combine Egg Mixture: Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Cook undisturbed over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to begin setting the edges.
  7. Bake Frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the frittata is puffed, set, and golden brown on top.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe skillet such as cast iron or stainless steel for smooth transition from stovetop to oven.
  • Ensure potatoes are sliced thinly to cook evenly during stovetop sautĂ©ing.
  • Feel free to substitute fingerling potatoes with baby Yukon gold or red potatoes.
  • Fresh turmeric adds a brighter flavor but ground turmeric works well for ease and color.
  • This frittata can be enjoyed cold or reheated for leftovers.
