Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 cup diced red onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces (225g) fingerling potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Whisk eggs and milk together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add ground turmeric and stir to infuse into the oil. Add diced onions and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the thinly sliced potatoes and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally until some potato slices start to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add diced red bell pepper and cook for 2 more minutes until they soften. Add scallions and spinach, stirring occasionally, until spinach wilts.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, making sure it covers the vegetables. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 2-3 minutes until eggs begin to set on the bottom.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-9 minutes, until the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve, seasoning with extra salt and pepper as desired.
Notes
- Check doneness: If the center of the frittata is still runny, place it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to set the top.
- Storing leftovers: This frittata keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days and can be enjoyed cold or reheated.
- For a cheesier frittata, sprinkle some grated cheese over the top before baking.
