Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
2
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the asparagus pieces and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
3
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Spread the vegetables evenly across the bottom of the skillet.
4
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped chives evenly over the top.
5
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set, puffed, and lightly golden brown around the edges. The center should be firm when gently pressed.
6
Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare this frittata ahead of time?

Yes, a frittata is excellent for meal prep! You can bake it, let it cool completely, then refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave, or serve at room temperature.

What other vegetables can I use?

Feel free to substitute or add other quick-cooking vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes. Ensure any high-water content vegetables are cooked down to prevent a watery frittata.

Can I add different cheeses?

Absolutely! Goat cheese, Gruyere, cheddar, or Parmesan would all be delicious alternatives or additions to the feta cheese.
