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.

🥚 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.
