Common questions
Can I substitute the heavy cream in this spinach and feta frittata?
Yes. Half-and-half works well, or use whole milk for a lighter frittata, though it will be a bit less rich. For dairy-free, use unsweetened plain oat milk or almond milk, but the texture will be slightly less creamy.
How long should I bake the frittata so it sets without overcooking?
Bake at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your skillet and egg thickness. It’s done when the center is just set and no longer jiggles much. Rest it 5 minutes before slicing so it finishes gently.
What are the most common mistakes when making this frittata?
The biggest mistakes are overcooking the vegetables, stirring after adding the eggs, and baking too long. Also avoid using too much spinach moisture; cook it down first. A non-oven-safe skillet is another common problem.
How should I store leftover frittata and reheat it?
Cool leftovers, then store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat slices in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes, or microwave briefly. For best texture, avoid overheating, which can make the eggs rubbery.
What should I serve with spinach and feta frittata?
It pairs well with toast, roasted potatoes, fruit, or a simple green salad. For brunch, serve with tomatoes and olives. A little hot sauce or fresh herbs on top also works well without overpowering the feta.
