🥬 Enjoy a light and flavorful Arugula Frittata packed with fresh herbs and tangy feta cheese for a nutritious meal.
🍳 This quick and easy dish is perfect for brunch or a light dinner, combining wholesome greens and creamy cheese in one skillet.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 3 large portions or 4 smaller slices

Ingredients

– 6 eggs

– 2 tablespoons cream (heavy cream, cottage cheese, crème fraîche, yogurt, sour cream, or whole-fat milk as substitutes)

– ½ scant teaspoon fine salt

– ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

– ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

– 1 tablespoon olive oil (butter can be used instead)

– 6 ounces (170 grams) arugula (bagged baby arugula, fresh arugula, or substitutes like spinach or baby kale)

– ¼ cup (40 grams) crumbled feta cheese (ricotta, goat cheese, or parmesan as alternatives)

Instructions

1-First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and set the rack in the middle to get everything ready.

2-In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until they’re well blended and set that aside.

3-Next, heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat, then add the arugula in batches, cooking it until it’s wilted but still bright green.

4-Once the arugula is ready, spread it evenly in the skillet and pour the egg mixture over it.

5-Cook on medium heat for about 4 minutes until the edges start to set.

6-At this point, scatter the crumbled feta cheese on top while the center is still a bit wobbly, then transfer the skillet to the oven.

7-Bake for 4 to 5 minutes until the center is fully set and has a bright yellow color.

8-Finally, serve it warm or at room temperature either cut slices right in the skillet or slide the whole frittata onto a plate.

Notes

🥚 The recipe can be doubled; adjust cooking time accordingly.
🌱 Use older arugula that’s not ideal for salads to reduce waste.
🧀 Substitute other leafy greens or cheeses for variety and use full-fat dairy for creamier texture.
