# How to Make It:

03 - Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, oregano, and nutmeg. Stir in half of the crumbled feta cheese.
05 - Pour the egg mixture evenly over the spinach mixture in the skillet. Gently shake the skillet to distribute the ingredients.
06 - Sprinkle the remaining feta cheese evenly on top.
07 - Cook on the stove over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
08 - Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
09 - Let the frittata rest for a few minutes, then slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It transforms a handful of simple ingredients into something that looks like it came from a Mediterranean cafe.
  • The entire thing comes together in thirty minutes and dirties exactly one skillet.
  • Leftovers taste incredible cold straight from the fridge the next morning.
02 -
  • Do not skip preheating the oven because a cold oven means a rubbery texture in the middle.
  • Use an ovenproof skillet or the handle will melt or crack when you transfer it.
  • Opening the oven door repeatedly to check will drop the temperature and extend cooking time.
03 -
  • Cook the spinach longer than you think because excess moisture is the enemy of a clean slice.
  • Pulling the frittata from the oven when the center still has a tiny wobble guarantees a creamy rather than dry texture.
