Spinach and dill frittata

The Spinach and Dill Frittata is a delicious and nutritious meal that's perfect for any time of the day. Combining the rich flavors of cumin, dill, and fresh vegetables, this frittata is both satisfying and wholesome. It's an excellent way to enjoy a variety of greens like spinach and leek, along with the protein-packed goodness of eggs. Easy to prepare, this recipe brings together simple ingredients to create a truly delightful dish.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Leeks: Slice the leek thinly and wash thoroughly to remove any dirt.
3. Sauté Leeks: Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Cumin and Spinach: Sprinkle the ground cumin over the leeks and stir to combine. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes.
5. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the eggs until well blended. Add the chopped scallions, dill, and baking powder to the eggs. Mix thoroughly.
6. Combine Ingredients: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed leeks and spinach. Stir gently to distribute the vegetables evenly throughout the eggs.
7. Cook on Stovetop: Cook on the stovetop over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
8. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top. To check for doneness, gently shake the skillet; the center should be firm and not jiggly.
9. Cool and Slice: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, slice the frittata.
10. Serve: Serve the spinach and dill frittata with your favorite toppings!

Tips:

- Make sure to thoroughly wash and drain the spinach and leek to remove any dirt or grit.

- Cooking the leek until translucent will help bring out its sweet, mild flavor.

- Feel free to use an oven-safe skillet to easily transfer the frittata to the oven if you prefer to finish cooking it there.

- Use fresh dill for the best flavor, but if you can't find fresh dill, you can substitute with dried dill (use 1 tablespoon dried dill for 1/3 cup fresh dill).

- When whisking the eggs, ensure they are fully beaten for a consistent texture in the frittata.

- Adding a pinch of salt and pepper to the egg mixture can enhance the overall taste of the dish.

The Spinach and Dill Frittata is not just a flavorful meal, but it’s also a nutrient-dense option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of fresh vegetables, eggs, and aromatic spices creates a harmonious blend of tastes and textures. This versatile dish can be served on its own or alongside a fresh salad.
