 Frittata with mint spinach and feta

When I am in Greece I love eating the traditional Spinakopita (Spinach Pies).  These calorie packed feta parcels of delight are a bit of a no-no on the diet front but I do love the combination of spinach and feta. In this recipe I am throwing in another Greek favourite, mint to make something really tasty.

Spinakopita

These frittata with mint spinach and feta are my low carb take on the infamous spinakopita. Replacing the filo pastry with the eggs and forming the spinach, mint and garlic into a frittata is a cunning way to cut those carbs without losing the flavours.

This recipe is for one person, me, it was my lunch today. Just double up on measurements to make a larger quantity. I made mine in one 14cm pie tin. The amount of batter I made would have filled two standard muffin tins.

Simple recipes

I love easy, quick recipes that are high on flavour and low on work. This frittata with mint spinach and feta fits the bill perfectly.

Bold flavours

I have used two cloves of garlic in this recipe. Now don’t recoil in horror thinking that it’s a hell of a lot for one person, it is. However I don’t use it as it is. No, I roast the garlic for 10 minutes in the oven at 180C. Roasting garlic turns it’s usually pungent taste into something delightfully squishy and oh so sweet with a real depth of flavour. I have to admit, this is when having an Aga is a real boon. Those permanently hot ovens mean there is no hassle of heating the oven for doing such a small item. Having said that, this doesn’t apply here as you need to have a ready heated oven anyway to cook that frittata with mint spinach and feta.

Frittata with mint spinach and feta

Ingredients;

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 100g chopped spinach (I used frozen)

  • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
  • black pepper to taste

Method;

  • Preheat oven to 180C and use the oil to grease either two holes in a muffin tin or 1 14cm pie tin
  • Place the cloves of garlic on a small piece of foil and roast in oven for approximately 10 minutes till it is squishy, remove and allow to cool
  • Whisk the eggs in a bowl and add all the other ingredients but reserve a little of the feta
  • Peel the roasted garlic and mash well before stirring into the egg mixture
  • Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for approximately25 minutes or until risen and golden

This looks amazing when it comes out of the oven all puffy and perfect. Alas, it will soon settle down and loose this magnificent shape but still tastes amazing.
