Hey, there wonderful people!
I am forever on a quest to eat healthily, but sometimes the thought of having another salad is just not appetizing. Sometimes I just want something more, something different, and something easy yet satisfying. My first thought is a sandwich… but when I need to avoid bread (or simply do not have any in the house) a good frittata or crustless quiche is the winning recipe! This one a GREAT breakfast, lunch or dinner dish! With the saltiness from the feta, vinegary deliciousness of the olives and a healthy punch of the spinach, each bite is a flavour bomb!
You can make this as a frittata with all the cooking done in 1 pan OR as a crustless quiche in a pie dish! Whichever you prefer.
Some info about some of the ingredients: I use frozen spinach because you usually need to buy a lot more fresh spinach as it shrinks when it is cooked, AND because I read an article that said frozen spinach contains more of its natural vitamins and minerals than the fresh spinach. But both work, so it is all about preference. I have also used sheep’s feta for this recipe as it brings in a sharper flavour against the spinach which I quite like. But I have made this with normal feta which is just as good!
The great thing about this recipe is that it is super adaptable – so feel free to change the type of cheese, use bitter olives if you wish, perhaps add some cherry tomatoes? Have fun with it and make it your own 🙂

Spinach, Feta and Olive Frittata
When you're hungry and need something a bit more than a salad, then this frittata/quiche is perfect! Packed with flavour, easy to make AND healthy! What are you waiting for?
Ingredients
- 8 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 250 g Thawed frozen Spinach You can use more if you would like
- 1 Onion Red or Brown, thinly sliced
- 50 g Feta Whichever you prefer
- 1/3 cup Kalamata olives Pitted and halved
- 1 tbsp Olive oil/Coconut oil
- 1 Garlic clove Minced
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Dried Coriander
- 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
*sometimes I like mine extra cheesy, so I add half a cup of grated white Gouda or mozzarella cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius
-
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and cayenne pepper.
*If you are adding extra cheese, add it in to this mixture.
-
In a medium sized, non-stick frying pan heat up the oil at a medium heat. Add in the garlic and onions and fry until soft and starting to colour.
-
Add in the spinach, paprika and coriander. Fry until the flavours are combined and fragrant (4 or 5 min).
-
Add in the egg mixture and stir until the spinach and egg mixture are combined. Add salt and pepper.
*If you would like to make this into a crustless quiche instead, then add the spinach mixture to the egg mixture instead. Mix it and then pour it into a greased quiche dish.
-
Top the frittata/quiche with the feta, olives and thyme.
-
Place into the oven and cook until the frittata is firm and golden brown (you may need to use the grill at the end to get a good crust on top).
-
Serve with a delicious tomato and cucumber salad or eat as it is. Enjoy 🙂
I hope you like it 🙂
All my food love!
