A quick and easy Mediterranean frittata packed with feta, olives, and fresh herbs, perfect for a flavorful and fuss-free brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk or half-and-half
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add sliced red onion and cook for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using until just combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Stir in crumbled feta, sliced Kalamata olives, and chopped fresh oregano or parsley.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed onions and garlic in the skillet. Spread evenly and cook on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, gently lifting edges to let uncooked egg flow underneath.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Switch oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the top is golden and lightly crisp. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better fluffiness. Avoid overbeating eggs to prevent toughness. The broiler step is essential for a golden top without drying out the frittata. If edges cook too fast on stovetop, reduce heat to low. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
