Print Recipe

A quick and easy fluffy spring onion frittata perfect for a wholesome breakfast or light meal, featuring fresh spring onions and a light, airy egg texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 4–5 medium spring onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk or cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/3 cup grated cheddar or feta cheese (optional)
  • Small handful of chopped parsley or chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if using for finishing the frittata.
  2. Wash and thinly slice 4-5 medium spring onions, including both white and green parts.
  3. Crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup whole milk or cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper. Whisk vigorously until pale yellow and slightly frothy.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a 9-inch non-stick or oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced spring onions and sauté gently for 2-3 minutes until softened but not browned.
  5. If using cheese or herbs, mix them into the egg mixture now. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the softened spring onions in the skillet.
  6. Reduce heat to low-medium and cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until edges start to set and center remains slightly runny.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until eggs are fully set and lightly golden on top. Alternatively, cover the pan and cook on stovetop for another 5 minutes until set.
  8. Check doneness by gently shaking the pan; the frittata should be firm but still moist with no liquid egg wobbling.
  9. Let the frittata cool for a minute or two before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Whisk eggs just enough to incorporate air for fluffiness but avoid overbeating. Cook spring onions gently to soften without browning. Finish in oven for a golden top or cover and cook on stovetop if no oven-safe pan is available. Let frittata rest before slicing for best texture.
