spinach & feta frittata

👨‍🍳 Chefy Tip: Cook the eggs gently in the skillet before the broiler — the edges should set while the center still jiggles. That contrast in texture is the point. Broil 2–3 minutes, not until it stops moving entirely.

🧬 Food Science

Spinach is one of the most nutrient-dense leafy greens available, providing exceptional amounts of vitamin K, folate, iron, and magnesium in a near-zero calorie package. The oxalates in raw spinach that inhibit iron absorption are significantly reduced by wilting — making cooked spinach a more bioavailable iron source than raw.

Pair It

🥂 Pair with black coffee, sparkling water with lemon, or unsweetened Greek mountain tea.
🍽️ Pair with sliced cucumber, kalamata olives, or a simple tomato and herb salad.
