Eggs, vegetables, herbs, and olive oil make a simple combination for an everyday meal. This frittata is a modern home-style recipe rather than a traditional dish from one specific Blue Region. It can be served warm or at room temperature and is easy to adapt to the vegetables available.
What you'll need
Let's cook
Heat the oven to 400°F.
Whisk the eggs, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl until well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
Add the tomato and spinach. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the spinach wilts and most of the excess moisture has cooked away.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until the eggs are set in the center.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Use an oven-safe nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. If using a smaller skillet, the frittata will be thicker and may need a few extra minutes in the oven.
Cook the vegetables until most of their moisture has evaporated before adding the eggs. This helps prevent a watery frittata.
Spinach can be replaced with kale or Swiss chard. Bell pepper can be replaced with zucchini. Parsley can be replaced with fresh basil or dill.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a simple green salad, whole-grain toast, or roasted vegetables.
