Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the vegetables: Wash and chop the fresh spinach, slice the mushrooms, chop the onion, and mince the garlic cloves to prepare all the vegetables for cooking.
- Sauté onions and mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms become tender, about 5 minutes.
- Cook the spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach into the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and pumpkin puree until smooth. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
- Combine and cook on stovetop: Pour the egg and pumpkin mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Cook on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 5 minutes without stirring, allowing the edges to begin setting.
- Add cheese and bake: Sprinkle the feta cheese evenly on top of the frittata. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven set at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until the frittata is fully set and the top is slightly golden.
Notes
- Make sure to use an oven-safe skillet for the stovetop to oven transition.
- You can substitute spinach with kale or Swiss chard if preferred.
- For a vegetarian diet, ensure the feta cheese is suitable.
- Pumpkin puree can be canned or homemade.
- Adjust salt and pepper levels according to taste preferences.
