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.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 leek
180g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
2 cups spinach
60g
6 eggs
300g
1 cup scallions
50g
1/3 cup dill
50g
1 tsp baking powder
5g

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. Enjoy your frittata burger hot, and savor the delightful flavors in every bite!
