Spinach, Feta & Peas Frittata With Dill

Have you ever wanted to know how to make the perfect creamy frittata? You can’t go wrong with this easy & delicious recipe with peas, spinach, feta & dill.

This delicious custard frittata is loaded with fresh Spring ingredients: tender peas, robust baby spinach, flavorful spring onions, and aromatic dill. The addition of creamy feta takes this healthy & vibrant frittata to the next level. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, this easy oven-baked omelet is ready to savor in under 20 minutes.

The secret to a perfectly cooked frittata recipe is in the dairy-to-egg ratio, pre-cooked ingredients, the perfect cheese choice, and seasoning the custard early. This recipe takes care of all those things. Also, choosing the right pan & controlling the oven temperature are essential to cooking the perfect frittata. I recommend using a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet for a golden color. Keep an eye on the frittata as it is cooking. When almost set, it is done. Don’t wait until it is brown on the top; it will be overcooked in the middle and dry. If you want to add color to the top, I recommend browning the frittata under the broiler for a few minutes.
