Gather your ingredients for this spinach artichoke frittata
To make this spinach artichoke frittata, you can start by gathering your ingredients. For this recipe, you will need olive oil, baby spinach, eggs, whole milk, salt, pepper, quartered artichoke hearts, and goat cheese.
Sautée the spinach until wilted
Before you do anything else, preheat the oven to 350 F. Then, heat a 12-inch, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, and once hot, add in the spinach. It may seem like a lot of spinach, but it wilts down pretty quickly. Sautée and stir the spinach until it is all wilted, which takes about 5 minutes.
Beat eggs, and mix with remaining ingredients
In a large bowl, add in the eggs, and beat them well. Then, add in the milk, salt, pepper, drained artichoke hearts, and crumbled goat cheese. Using a large wooden or silicone spoon, stir this mixture, until it is combined.
Bake the frittata, and serve
Next, pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the wilted spinach. Be sure to stir the spinach into the egg mixture. Carli notes "the spinach may stick to the bottom of the skillet, so using a spoon, scrape the spinach from the bottom of the pan, and stir it into the egg mixture". Then, place the skillet in the preheated oven to bake for 20 to 25 minutes. You will know the frittata is done when it barely jiggles when jostled. Make sure to allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
