Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a medium pot, bring water to a boil, add the white rice, and cook according to package instructions, usually around 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water and set the rice aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and red pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften and the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Add the cooked rice, sautéed vegetables, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl. Mix until well incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it out evenly.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until the eggs are set and the frittata is firm. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once cooked, remove the frittata from the slow cooker and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Tips:
- For a fluffier frittata, whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air before adding them to the slow cooker.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have available or prefer. Zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers can make great additions.
- Lightly grease the slow cooker with olive oil to prevent the frittata from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- For extra flavor, season the egg mixture with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs like basil, oregano, or parsley.
- To ensure even cooking, occasionally rotate the slow cooker insert if your model cooks unevenly.
