Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined.
- Add the chopped spearmint, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and set the mixture aside.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced shallots and minced garlic, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the shallots are translucent and aromatic.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, spreading it evenly.
- Allow it to cook on the stovetop over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the edges start to set but the center is still slightly runny.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top.
- To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Tips:
- Make sure to whisk your eggs thoroughly to get a fluffy frittata.
- Use fresh cherry tomatoes and spearmint for the best flavor.
- Preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
- You can add other vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition and variety.
- Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before serving; this makes it easier to slice and enhances the flavors.
