Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add 1 small diced yellow onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 4 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted; season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk 8 large eggs with 1/4 cup whole milk until combined. Stir in the sautéed spinach mixture and 4 oz crumbled goat cheese.
  4. Step 4: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet evenly and cook on the stovetop over medium heat for 3 minutes until the edges start to set.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the frittata is puffed and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.

Total time is about 35 minutes (10 min prep + 25 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a busy morning; prep components the night before to save active time.

How do I store leftover Baked Spinach and Goat Cheese Egg Frittata?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven; egg- or grain-based items may need a splash of milk or water to refresh texture. Cold-served items (overnight oats, smoothies) keep 2–3 days in the fridge.

Can I substitute ingredients in Baked Spinach and Goat Cheese Egg Frittata?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Baked Spinach and Goat Cheese Egg Frittata for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 6 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 6). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
